And then...wait there is more...in the section that deals specifically with Classic Motocross

"18.3.0.5 Self returning folding footrests must be fitted."

Amazing when you look in the correct place......

[LWC82PE]

yeah
nothing about spring loaded fottpegs, ; "self returning" is the phrase
a lot of Huskies are folding ,without springs

so whats the ruling now

do we definitely need springs or do we not need them? some say you do, others say you dont. Im confused

[Suzukal]

In the 2009 MoM's For all disciplines.
12.8.5.1  – footrests must:
(a) Be well rounded and designed so as to ensure that no dangerous edges are created due to wear.
(b) Not touch the ground at lean unless they are hinged or pivoted and controlled by a return spring.

What about dangerous edges not due to wear … hope MA doesn’t look at some of the footpegs available as standard equipment as well as the aftermarket ones … there are some that would slice straight through to the bone ….

[Brian Watson]

My understanding of the section relating to Classic MX is that it is in addition to the "all disciplines" and those rules contained in CMX "override" the all disciplines stuff...so in that way we are allowed to run methanol etc... so the footpegs only need to be folding...

But you are right ...some of the modern footpegs will open up a calf at 20 paces ...OUCH!!

Or open up someones neck.  I like wide pegs but  some of aftermarket ones are deadly looking.  Personally I do not think there is any place for non-rounded teeth pegs on a race bike.

It didn't happen. Probably a good decision.

Can anybody let me know the ruling regarding folding footrests, will a metisse with the original strap footrests be allowed?

the strap footrests sound interesting ....
MA book says 18.3.0.5 Self returning folding footrests must be fitted.
