Default Look down at your bike at the right side peg..

I'm not sure if I bent mine, or if that's how it is... But if I am sitting on the bike, and look down at the right side peg, the arm appears to be bent forward towards the front of the bike, and the peg is at an angle..

I can't remember if this is how it came or not?! But it also doesn't make sense that it's bent FORWARD. I could see being bent backwards, but forwards is weird..

Can someone just take a quick look and see if it's normal or if I need to do some work?!


Thanks!!

Just had a look at mine and it doesn't really look bent forward comparied to the left, I keep looking back and forth but got dizzy trying to find something different. I would say you may have bent it some how maybe a picture may help us compare.

Hey- you could call it a mod that increases rear braking efficiency!

Do you recall dumping the bike on the right side while riding in reverse?

But seriously folks, fall enough times on the right side and it will start to look like yours. Mine's bent a little forward after thirty some dumps, but not quite as bad. Remember, you get one free bend to straighten it. Next time you go to bend it... crack.

Couple good whacks and it's back in action.. Not sure what fall caused it.. Maybe a botched hill climb or something?! haha

'07's are like that from the factory. I noticed it on mine and then looked at a couple on the showroom floor. They were all the same and bent slightly forward as if to aim your foot toward the brake pedal.
