Review on Yamaha Foot Pegs R1 R6 by Tony Beale

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Bad technique! in Footpegs

So, in this review there are 2 reviews, front and back. FRONT - The front pins are fairly trimmed and dry apart from removing the factory pins which are quite easy to install. 5 Stars. RETURN. These suck, they don't have a bushing, so the metal plate that the ball bearing sits in rotates and moves off-centre, causing them not to "snap into place". What they got wrong in production is they copied the OEM plate but not the footboard itself. That way it doesn't stay in place/orientation. The OEM has a bushing that keeps the plate centered. The pin hole is big enough to accept a screw. I had to go to a hardware store to find a washer flat enough to fit the center hole to hold it in place. And this is where it gets really tedious to get it back in place with a spring, a ball bearing, now a small washer and a pin. If I were to buy them again I would NOT because of half the A$$ for development/production. Look for replacement parts that allow you to use a bushing or center hole that is the exact size of the screw.
