what's happening guys dave here with uh this is a honda grom
but this will apply to many different motorcycles especially honda sport bikes the issue is
how to install the passenger foot peg this one was missing that foot peg
so you can actually buy a kit and you know the kit comes with a nice passenger peg as well as some
interesting hardware that you don't want to misplace because you need all of it
okay so let's go through it here
first and yeah watch out because stuff will go rolling away from it there's a ball bearing that
comes with it anyway this is the first piece here that has to go in and it has to go in that way
because this these two holes are where the ball bearing rotates to when the foot peg is up or down
okay so
make note of that
let's zoom in a little bit
and i also noticed um if you put a little bit of grease on this little flat piece here
it'll keep it from falling out of the mechanism now notice how i'm holding it as i can't hold it
okay notice how i'm holding it here rotate it and that the little pointy end
goes towards the bike that little end right there so towards the bike there's a little slot
in the foot peg mount for that little pointy thing
okay so bear with me just one second i'll give you a better look of what this is looking like
okay see it now
this little blunt looking thing goes towards the bike in that there's a little hole in there for it
okay you'll see it and then this big hole here is for the pin to go through
so it goes right through all of this here
okay so it has to line up there but that's why i like to put a little bit of grease on it to
just hold it in place otherwise it'll just fall out of there and you'll be like so frustrated
okay so bear with me trying to make sure you have a good view of everything here
all right next the foot peg itself now of course it's gonna look like this installed
and then when it's not in use it'll pivot up like this
back down and the way it does this is on the back
there's a hole this this other hole here not the main the main hole is for the pin the other hole
is for a little spring and a ball bearing okay so your little spring comes in the kit
drop it down in this hole now here's where it gets fun because you have to hold steady
okay see how the ball bearing just sits in there you have to sit it in there and just hold it there
okay so now the mount area is wide enough
just be careful because that ball bearing will just ask to go flying all right here we go do
it quickly ball bearings on top springs on bottom we're going to turn it sideways
get it wedged into the mount area just get it started
okay here's where it's just a little cumbersome
a little funky okay here we go you got to miss this top hole here because this
this needs to go in the back hole the ball bearing does so sort of miss it
get it wedged in there
there you go now work it in there and you'll hear it click in place
let me see if you can see this alright there's a top view right there the ball bearing is pushed
into the spring area now and you need to make sure that it hooks up with the hole
on the back side of this little plate okay so you may have to monkey with it a little bit
all right now get your pin it goes in like this you'll have to wiggle it a little bit to get it
you know to get it to line everything up
okay you also might need a screwdriver so you can push on the little plate that's in there
the other one lined up pretty easily
and if it won't cooperate you may have to just take it apart and start over all right
here we go try it again ball bearing on top of the spring in that hole
hold it together get it started
go past the big hole so the ball doesn't get stuck in it you're trying to go in the back hole
of that little plate
okay go ahead and get the pin started
there you go just keep working with it all right see how this all right see how that looks
of course i have it backwards so let's try again
all right to get it out pull the pin out and then just strongly
it goes this way
there we go
all right see how the plate is now i had it upside down
because i've only done this once
all right here we go now we'll get it
little spring this little guy goes into the back hole of the peg
ball bearing
rests on top of the spring
hold it with your fingers and tilt it over
okay and then if you just turn and twist
the spring will give way and the ball bearing will fall into that little hole
there we go and push towards the foot peg mount and wiggle there we go and there we go
hear the click you'll know it's right when it clicks like that all right now the final step
uh a little washer comes with it and it may be a good idea to do a little bit of grease on the
edges of the inside of the foot peg you know so that it can swivel and rotate nicely all right
now we've got a washer goes on the back of the pin also a little bit of grease helps hold it in place
as you see otherwise it would just fall to the ground you get frustrated
then take your cotter pin it comes with the kit also poke it through
poke her through there and then lock the cotter pin in place with whatever tool
you like to use i like to use channel locks like this
turn it where the the head is up on the cotter pin
because you want it to be good and tight
like so we can't see that
like so and just make sure that it's good and tight and can't uh you know you don't want it to
vibrate while you're riding the bike so that it's very annoying to have a vibrating cotter pin
anywhere on a motorcycle there we go
and that's that now this is you know i didn't realize you could actually buy this kit
for these foot pegs and i think they fit tons of different honda sport bikes as well as the grom
um but yeah if you just search for your make and model on ebay or amazon i'm sure you'll find it
very nice because they they look beautiful they're nice and shiny you know they're not
all cruddy looking and there we go now we've got a pair of passenger foot pegs on the grom
very happy with that we're doing quite a few little fixes and mods and updates
and stuff on it you know you may see a few of them already in the picture here
but see our other videos we've got other videos about this bike and tons of other
motorcycles dirt bikes atvs mini atvs cars trucks blah blah stuff around the house always fiddling
