Priyal Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Hi I am about to purchase a XVS 125 Dragstar, and the shift pedal when i mounted the bike seemed to be slightly wobly. As i am new to the bike, do not know if this is common for shift pedals. Are the meant to be more stiff, and less wobbly, to change the gears ? Would like to know so i can challenge the seller if need be Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If youre gonna ride it regularly, get into the habit of once month or so, slip the circlip off and slide the pedal off, wipe the muck and shite out of the bush and off the shaft, then put some fresh grease back on. Helps to prevent wear and keeps it nice and easy moving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
