Guys, yesterday my bike fell on its right side as I had not put the side stand carefully. The right side rider peg broke.
Is it a good idea to get it welded rather and buying a new subframe and peg. I still have the 2 parts of the metal. Welding it would be an easy job, but just wanna know if anyone has got it done before.
Considering welding as I don't wanna spend too much as I've had 2 huge service bills for the bike to foot in the past 30 days!_________________________

I think the company does the same thing as well. They weld the footpeg right? I have used a welded footpeg in my previous pulsar till I sold it off. I don't think it would be a problem.Originally posted by prafultripathy View PostDoN\'t LivE tO DiE, dIe tO LiVeComment

Nope, the footpegs are screwed onto the subframe. For me the mettalic supports have broken. So two places will require a weld and thats what I am going to do!Originally posted by pranay View Post

The company replaces the whole assembly is case of breakage. A friend got it done from PBK, costing him 800 including labour!!" I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not" - Kurt Cobain

If it is the fixed type, get it welded. If it is the movable type, it would be better to replace it, as the cost involved would be lesser. I'll check my friend's P220 this evening&let you know.Quench my thirst with gasoline!Comment

Lesser than welding it? Are you sure?Originally posted by Sarvajit View PostDoN\'t LivE tO DiE, dIe tO LiVeComment

I meant lesser compared to replacing the assembly of a fixed type!Originally posted by pranay View Post
I got my front left R15's footpeg replaced for Rs.65 only.
The footpeg slider costs Rs.215 though!

I would strongly recommend you to get it replaced.... its called the "stay".... and AFAIK... welding wont last much... it will break off sometime... coz we tend to put a lot of weight on it (the footpeg takes a lot of load when the bike goes into potholes--remember that it also takes the pillon footpeg and the big silencer can ka weight).Originally posted by prafultripathy View Post
The stay costs around 500rs.... labour would be around 100rs... and the footpeg would cost you another 100 bucks... all in all as kurtrules said... its a 800 rupaiya ka phatka.Chetan

^^ A properly welded footpeg lasted me a year and a half, though I never stood on it or gave it any sort of unnecessary pressure.
Although, that being said, after the realisation of that fact which you have posted, I think I would go ahead and spend 800Rs and get that done. I would not risk the chance of being without a footpeg in the middle of a trip. It would be extremely dangerous.Last edited by pranay; 04-02-2009, 01:33 PM.DoN\'t LivE tO DiE, dIe tO LiVeComment

+1 to that Pranay. Chetanpulsar's explanation sounds very reasonable.Originally posted by pranay View Post

I agree with what chetan says...just imagine...you sweeping into a corner with tippy toes on the right welded footpeg, leaning off your bike and just then the weld decides to fall off...
Potentially hazardous. I vote for a complete replacement of the assembly.Never argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and then beat you with experience.Comment

Confirmed with Praful... its the left foot peg stay that has broken and not the right one.Originally posted by niranjanvaidya View Post
So its pretty ok getting it welded.... but then as Niranjan said.... what if it comes off at the wrong time... it could result in a potential hazard... making the bike uncontrollable.
Its better to get it changed completely asap.Chetan

@Praful: You have been one of the most outspoken and dedicated person that I have seen on xBhp, as far as the P-220 is concerned. You are the one to speak your heart out about the positives of the machines, while on the same time not backing out when it came to any issue(s) with the P-220 inspite of the fact that you own the bike yourself.
I totally feel that you have really taken our (atleast my) knowledge of the P-220 to a whole new level. You were (and you still are) the one who always made it a point to get the problem sorted out with the P-220 as and when it occurred and making it a point to post a detailed description of the issue(s) and the subsequent solution to the problem.
I would suggest, hence, that instead of welding (which can and will eventually turn out to be a shoddy job), get the foot-peg stay changed. Spending Rs.800/- odd bucks is nothing when compared to the doubt that you would have in mind while riding the bike, if you do plan to get it welded.
That's what I feel!:)Comment
