Verified Specifications

Confirmed Fitment

Do not select a footrest solely because another Royal Enfield uses the same 650 engine. Chassis mounting, control-plate design, pivot dimensions, spring arrangement and finish can differ.

Purpose and Replacement Guidance

The rider footrest supports the rider's foot during normal riding, shifting, mounting and manoeuvring. Replacement may be required after bending, cracking, impact damage, excessive pivot wear, damaged stop faces or loss of secure movement. Inspect the control plate, pivot pin, spring, circlip and gear-shift clearance at the same time; replacing the footrest alone will not correct a damaged mounting plate or worn hardware.

Box Contents

• 1 × Genuine Royal Enfield LH rider footrest assembly, KAE00018/A

Not included unless physically packed with the supplied assembly: RH footrest, LH control plate, gear pedal, pivot pin, spring, circlip, bush, washer, feeler peg, mounting bolts, pillion footrest, conversion parts or installation labour. The manufacturer may supply an assembly with captive subcomponents; verify the received pack before dismantling the motorcycle.

Installation Guidance

1. Confirm the VIN, part number, rider position and LH side before opening or fitting.
2. Secure the motorcycle upright on a stable surface.
3. Photograph the original pivot pin, spring orientation, washers, circlip and stop position.
4. Inspect the LH control plate for cracks, distortion or an elongated pivot bore.
5. Replace worn, bent or damaged pivot hardware instead of transferring it blindly.
6. Fit the footrest and spring in the exact original orientation using approved hardware.
7. Use specified locking devices and workshop-manual torque values where applicable.
8. Verify free movement, correct spring return and positive stop engagement.
9. Confirm clearance from the gear pedal, exhaust and surrounding components.
10. Perform a stationary load/function check and controlled low-speed riding check before normal use.

Professional installation is recommended after impact damage or whenever the mounting plate or related controls may be distorted.

Care and Diagnostic Guidance

• Do not heat, weld, drill, grind or straighten a damaged footrest for routine reuse.
• Keep the pivot area clean; lubricate only where and with what the workshop manual specifies.
• Check spring action and retaining hardware during regular service.
• Investigate looseness promptly because continued movement can damage the control-plate pivot bore.
• Replace distorted hardware and damaged clips rather than relying on temporary repairs.
• After installation, confirm that the gear pedal remains fully accessible and returns correctly.

Return-Prevention Checklist

• My motorcycle is a Shotgun 650 and its VIN catalogue calls for KAE00018/A.

• I understand this is one LH assembly, not a pair.
• I compared the pivot, stop shape, width, bore, finish and mounting arrangement.
• I checked whether the pin, spring, circlip, bush and feeler peg must be ordered separately.
