Not trying to be A-hole but end of the pin looks awful beat up. Why is dealer not replacing them under warranty? I have put plenty of miles on 3 different Triumphs and never seen one break. These are just C-clips and should be able to get from just about any auto parts store if you don't want to wait on dealer. Just carefully remove one from passenger peg to match up.

 

Is that some kind of dirt or corrosion or scuff marks all over the peg hanger? Even a good hardware store might have those C clips. I've never broken one even when they're stubborn to remove. Very strange. Those clips are not some bespoke part from Triumph. Just need to find the right size as stated above. Used on all sorts of equipment. Home Depot should have them.

 

Sorry to hear about this.

I absolutely do NOT ride my Tiger 660 sensibly. Ring it's neck daily, even rip down the random fire road on occasion. Just about to hit 10k miles in 7 months of ownership and no issues. I hope it stays that way!

Granted I do routinely wash/lube/inspect/tighten and it's garage kept, so even though I run it through the mud and bounce off the limiter, it does have regular spa days and a comfy place to sleep

 

your chain looks slackish, just wanted to mention as much.

 

For a few bucks Harbors Freight sells a assortment case with different size E-Clips...FTG

 

Very odd, but if you make a million of something, some of them will break. That said, they could have been installed incorrectly, i.e., not fully seated -- which is likely what happened to the swingarm pivot cover.

As noted above, the circlips are widely available.

And yes, you should go over every nut and bolt and clip.

 

And it looks like your bike lives near salt water. Have a look at Acf 50 spray.

 

I recently did some modifications to the side stand on my Tiger 900. The stand pivot pin is also held in place by a circlip. I am not a huge fan of this system of retention for exactly the reason you stated, if the pin breaks or falls off, bye-bye side stand. I would much rather have this be a bolted arrangement.
That being said I have not had any quality or reliability issues with my bike thus far (knock on wood). I concur with the others here that you can easily replace the circlips with parts from other more accessible sources. There is nothing special about the dealer provided parts other than the exorbitant prices.
On another note, as mentioned also by others, your chain can use a little attention. I can’t tell if it’s slack but there is definitely rust forming on the links. I know that Hawaii has a salty environment so I would suggest more frequent chain maintenance. Perhaps corrosion has something to do with the failure of the clips as well? I would make it a point to lubricate these points more often.

 

I'm used to seeing cotter pins. E-clips aren't that common on Japanese bikes.

 

There’s nothing special about the clips Triumph uses. Just get the ones at the auto parts or harbor freight store. I’ve never heard of anyone’s clips breaking and falling off before. I’m suspecting that Triumph got hold of a bad batch.

 

Hopefully not from Harbor Freight.

 

Those are common E clips and readily available.

Be advised that there is a correct way to install them.

If you look carefully at the clip edges you'll see a sharp edge on one side and a rounded edge on the other side.

The sharp edge goes towards the outside.

 

Interesting - I've always fitted e-clips, washers and similar stamped items with the rounded edge on the outside - and I've never noticed in service manuals etc, instructions that such items should be fitted with the sharp edge on the outside - but thinking about it, any longitudinal thrust on the pin or whatever that's held in by an e-clip should be taken up by the 'clean' sharp side of the clip - I guess that's the reason ....

 

Thank you all for the input - HUGELY helpful. I am not sure how the "Circlip, Ext 8 x 0.89" translates to imperial/US sizing for the common/generic E clips. I suppose I'll just have to see if I can CAREFULLY pry one off of the passenger foot rest E clips and head over to Home Depot, Lowes, or City Mill (here on Oahu, Hawaii there are no Harbor Freight stores) and try to eyeball-compare what they've got.

 

The size isn't that critical. You can easily pry off a remaining clip take it to any home supply or hardware store and find a clip that is close in size. Buy a few sizes and use the one that "pops" onto the shaft with authority.

Remember that the sharp edge of the clip faces OUT.

Needn't be too tight and the correct fit clip will usually rotate on the shaft with finger pressure.

 

I have ’22 Speedie that I bought new earlier this year. Mine had several loose bolts: lower cowl (came free while riding!!), side panel, bar end, and a couple of other ones I forget. Now I regularly give it the once-over for loose bolts every couple of weeks.

It is a Triumph...

 

I never had a broken e-clip, circlip. But I have had them shoot across the garage, never to be found when removing them. Be careful when removing them or you may need more than one.

 

Seems like bad design that a pretty crucial part (footrest) should be held in place by a circlip (e-clip) - a stone chip thrown up off the road surface could theoretically dislodge it. Even my shitty Chinese Lifan dirt bike has split pins (cotter pins) holding the footrests on ..... I don't know if my America has e-clips holding the footrest pins on (can't check at the moment because I'm on a different continent) but as soon as I get home, if it has e-clips, I'll drill the footrest pins and fit split pins ....

 

I occasionally stand up on my footrests to break wind, especially if I'm passing a gaggle of Hardley-Ablesons, so I need to be certain that they're securely fixed ....

 

those clips are not load bearing. They just keep the pins from vibrating out.

 

OP~ you might want to perform a thorough inspection of your motorcycle, Every time you ride it. Or, at least T-CLOCS it.

Neglect with motorcycles, never ends well.

 

I noticed my Cup pins and clips are SS unlike what I'm used to seeing on Japanese bikes. You probably won't find any off-the-shelf replacements that're as corrosion resistant. The black oxide ones are probably the worse.

My Zero uses circlips
