Title: Foot Peg Holder Spacers - where do they go?
Post by: Jordan1234 on October 14, 2012, 08:45:10 PM
Hello! I'm reassembling my 2002 M750 and I'm stuck on the foot peg holders. I cant tell from the exploded view which spacers went where, and its been a year since I took them off to rebuild the engine. I'm not even sure if I have all of the pieces any more. [bang]

Attached is a photo of all the spacers I think were involved.


I'd really appreciate any help - this is a frustrating place to get stuck... I'm so close to having it running again after a complete tear down and rebuild.

Thanks - Jordan

The right (throttle) side has four thick spacers. All four of mine are the same thickness, but I pulled a 1/8" piece of sheetmetal with some charcoal thingy attached to it from the top two of mine and threw it over my shoulder.
Lower left has two thinner aluminum spacers, and upper left pair are essentially washers.
larger thread diameter are the lowers on both sides, these go into the softer aluminum engine case.
smaller thread are the uppers, these go into the harder steel nuts welded to the frame.

There's also bushings to the stock exhaust hangers, one on each side (thicker on the right, thinner on the left), which I suspect you've got mixed in there.  The bolts for these are thinner even than the uppers that go into the steel bolts welded to the frame.

I do the same thing to myself all the time, I'd make sure the bolts are the right thread pitch and have adequate purchase depth (enough I'd be willing to stand on them), none of the cast metal has to bend, and that the rubber bushings on the footpeg brackets are just pinched, and otherwise not worry too much.

Hope this helps...

Ok I have another one:

My old rear brakes had these little metal plates, but I don't see any mention of them in the manual.
My new brake pads came with little pins, and I don't see any mention of those in my manual either. Also, the old brake pads didnt have any pins.

Here is what the plates and pins look like:

I think they go like this... I could see how the pins could go the other way, too. I can only guess that the arrows are supposed to point toward the front.

Does that seem right? Anybody seen these before?

Thanks!

Seen them back around...maybe 2003.  The purpose is to (hopefully) avoid brake squeal.  They didn't work for whatever reason I don't remember on the aftermarket pads I installed.  They don't even show up in the parts catalogue.

Ok great - I'll ignore them.

What about the little pins? Can I also ignore those?
