This might sound crazy but I went for a 100 mile ride yesterday and my foot started slipping by the back brake pedal.
I recently changed the seat to a Sargent duo and have been on a few rides and everything was fine - until yesterday.
Had a quick look and nothing seems to be loose or moved.
Any suggestions?

What do you mean slipping... Slipping off the Pegs?


There are a number of AM pegs that can be fitted - but depending on your use the Pegs from a Multistrada or Multidstrada Enduro would fit on...

The Enduro ones have good spikes... but covered with a rubber isolator..

The OE Ducati ones are cheaper or similar to the AM ones..

No not off the pegs.

When I go to put the brake on, my foot passes by the pedal, unless I angle it in.

I have the same problem on most bikes - due to a motorcycle injury where my foort can not turn in.

On my Multistrada - I fitted a pedal extender I made.

On the scrambler - I bought a replacement pedal and bent it so it stuck out more... I could have just bent the original.. but the plating had started to turn black... so I changed it. -

Think they were like £40 from dealer and an hour to do... Bending on the bike would be possible using some scafold tube... there is a sturdy pivot and bearing... You only need to bend it out probably 10mm... and the issue goes away..(for me)

On my Scrambler 1100 - I do not have the issue - not sure why... but here it would be make a new top plate as its a 2 piece pedal.

Thanks Simon.

The puzzling thing is why has it only just started happening?

Think I will take a ride to my local Ducati dealer and see if I can check out one of theirs first.

I have also got a new pair of boots recently (great deal from Aliexpress). But as with the seat everything was fine until yesterday.

Nothing wrong with the Sargent seat.

I am just trying to paint a picture.

what did you wear that day?, boots or tennis shoes?.
had similar problem with original pegs and change them with the ones with spikes.

My new boots.
Solved the problem by bending the lever out a bit. Surprised how easy it moved with just my hand!
