sherco34 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Hi Guys, The pegs on my sherco 2008 look to be drooping down quite a bit, I took them off and noticed that the holes on the frame where the bolt goes through look to be non-circular. Is this why they are drooping a bit, if so how can I fix this? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldilocks Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 if you have steel pegs put some weld on the back of the peg where it hits the frame. if not weld steel washers to the outside of the peg mount on the frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ham2 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Ditto ..weld a run on the inside of the pegs as Glen, above, says..if you don't and carry on riding you may find you have very sore knees in the near future.

2stroke4stroke Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Never mind the knees, think of the marks lost when your feet slip off the rests! I have to admit to being rather fussy about keeping the footrests level and filing the serrations to keep 'em sharp and am amazed at the poor state of repair some people seem happy to suffer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippy Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Wayne, re knees, check out Glucosamine Sulphate 2KC1 I am using Celebrex...........damn arthritis showed up 11 yrs after an injury. I have heard Glucosamine has done wonders for some, it did nothing for me. I guess it depends on the knee. I am neither for nor against its use.

Quite unusual for the holes in the frame to get worn, normally the holes through the footpegs wear because they pivot on the bolts which don't move. Your footpegs should be aluminium on a 08 bike from memory, my billet ones have a steel sleeve that are wider than the footpegs that the mounts tighten up against which prevent them crushing onto the sides of the footpegs. If the holes in the footpegs are worn you can do something similar although a decent set of footpegs aren't that dear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sherco34 Posted September 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Hi guys, thanks for the replies So would the problem be fixed with a new set of pegs then? Any thoughts on the Aluminium S3 Hardrock's with the grub screws? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazz229 Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 I noticed this on mine a few days ago and funny enough he right is marginally worse than he left. Upon further inspection it's just down to worn holes in the pegs allowing them to sag. I'm going down the route of a spot of weld on the back simply because there's nothing else wrong with them.

taffe Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Hi Sherco 34, I have just put the S3 wide pegs on my 07 Sherco. Made a world of difference to riding confidence and fatigue but because they are flat not droopy, feels like I'm standing a fraction higher. I find it easier to get my feet positioned where I want them. Cheers Taff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
