Foot Peg Rubbers
« on: June 10, 2011, 11:17:30 AM »
The foot peg rubbers can be replaced.

On a 2 valve K bike, the front and rear peg rubbers (known as "bushings" in the BMW parts catalog) are the same and the part number is 46711454887.

On the K100RS4V or K1100, the front and rear peg rubbers are different.  The front ones are the same as the 2 valve ones - part number 46711454887.  The rear ones are a bit shorter and their part number is 46712310401.

On a K1, all four foot peg rubbers are part 46712310401.

Installation: Like grip rubbers, the easiest way to install them is to spray the inside of them with hairspray.  This acts as a lubricant initially to slide them on and then sets up to hold them in place.

Tip for the thrifty: Since the front edge is what wears you can effectively double their life span by occasionally swapping the left and right sides. (The cheapest part on a BMW is the rider.)
Once I had a Collie pup. Dug a hole and covered him up. Now I sit there by the hour. Waiting for a Collie-flower.

On my 1985 K100RS I removed the bolt on the underside of the peg and the rubber part slipped off easily.  The footpeg is actually two pieces; the end part is held on with a bolt with an allen wrench kinda head (I'm not sure what the real term for that is).
