Footpeg springs

Hey all,

Bike is in for an MOT tomorrow, everything is as it should be I think apart from the foot peg springs on both sides are broke. The .gov website says:

2.16 Footrests
These will be inspected to check that they're present and fitted securely.

Well they are fitted and still have the bolt and the split pins in place so i think it meets the criteria but just wanted to check that its not going to fail on them before I take the bike down.

They don't all have springs. If yopu ever owned a 250LC, you had to flip up the riders footpeg to kick-start it. I still have scars on my shins.

The peg springs on my Bandit have been shagged for years. No MOT issues - he did give them a wiggle this year but he was happy they were secure.

All passed, although I had a nudge to replace my number plate bulb.

Thanks all
