Missing retaining clip on passenger foot peg pin. 2022 1250GS

[camphair]

I was just out in the garage doing a bit of work to the bike and I happened to notice that the pin that holds the passenger foot peg in place was quite far out from where it should be.
On looking further I discovered the retaining clip that should be on the underside of the pin was missing. I also checked the opposite side and it too was missing.
Had a look at friends 1250GS who keeps her bike in my garage and one of them was also missing.
Maybe worth having a quick look at your bikes to check this, especially those who ride two up.
Both bikes haven't been through anything so arduous that should cause this to happen.

German engineering…

Those c-clips ping off fairly easy with a slight nudge in the right place.

That happened on one side of my Guzzi V85TT. German and Italian platform sharing

The clips that BMW use are ridiculously thin and easily snap - (check your rider pegs as well). I bought replacement ones from a local supplier rather than a dealer, and they are much more substantial. Still carry a couple spare though "just in case"

I got my 1250GS in March. At the 600 mile service they noticed this clip was missing from one of the rider’s footpegs and replaced it. Last week whilst I was out I noticed that one was missing again from the rider footpeg, but not sure if it’s the same side. That’s 2 gone in 3 months and only 3,500 miles. I’ve never lost one before.

I guy i work with had his peg leave the bike while on a ride home after work..

New pin & clip required

 

[DJ123]

change it to a circlip and you'll be ok. They're not a super odd size, so most kits will contain the one you need.

A circlip will be a lot more secure than an E clip. You can get them for pennies from any engineering supplier

My RT failed its MoT last year because the circlip on one of the rider pegs was missing. At a shop I've been using for twenty years! To be fair, there was another issue with the front brakes which I had fixed at a local specialist. He noticed the missing clip and replaced it without being asked and charged not a penny. I'm using another place for MoTs these days ...

Had the same problem with the front foot rests.
Fixed now. Drilled, fitted a washer and split pin. Those flimsy circlips are not up to much.

A fairly common issue - the size seems slightly wrong to me and they aren't springy - not made of the correct material????

I started this thread just to highlight to others that this may be similar on their bikes and to check it.
Don't fancy a foot peg getting caught up in the spokes.
As suggested, a circlip would probably do the job.

Thats a good idea, think i'll buy a pack. Could you tell me which size fits ? i've already had one make a bid for freedom which was spotted by the dealer and replaced FOC, what a bargain...... lol
