    Return Spring

    I have searched the best I could and could not find and info on installing the rear brake pedal return spring. It is on a 1981 GS 450ex. The parts fiche doesn?t show where the spring connects. Could someone post a picture of their brake pedal showing the spring?

    Here's my 82 450t if it helps. Looks like it's attached to the brake rod on front and a post connected to the muffler mount on the rear.IMG_20180614_201618327_HDR.jpg

          Thank you. I was wondering what the little post on the footrest was for. Now to figure out how to stretch the spring to make the connection.

            Any chance you could look and see where this rubber cushion goes? Number 7 in the parts breakdown above

              #7 appears to be the rubber bumper that the centerstand hits when it's up.

              It mounts to the bottom of the passenger footpeg/muffler mount on the left side.

                Thank you. I would have made myself crazy until I actually put the mufflers on. I guess that the risk of inheriting a bike in a box. Now onto the electronic panel and a search for grommets.
