my foot pegs flip up very easily and the detent is on the up position? i've only seen this on passenger pegs. my other bikes have strong springs that keep the pegs in the down position….they match the parts book, but seems rather strange.

Ithink from memory you have a 6r? My sb6 has solid (non-pivoting) foot pegs. Same pegs on my db4. Not sure if the 6r came with pivoting pegs, maybe somebody has changed them?

Its complicated with dropbox as it has to be a direct link to the pic and not to dropbox and end with for example .jpg
There is a way if it is your Dropbox account:

| Folding rider pegs are quite normal for US supplied bikes...seen them a few times on Db2's, Db4's you name it...something that was required at some stage by US standards...if you strip the pegs down you should find a ball bearing with spring behind it that is whats holding it in the "up postion...usually it has two postions that the ball bearing can be in...as its just a steel plate with 2 holes....or someone has reversed the fixing around to have them hold in the upright postion...If previous owners garage is tightly packed like mine it would be handy to have them fold and hold up to manneouvre around the place |

second that - the Tesi parts book shows "solid" footpegs for general consumption and folding pegs for US market bikes. Dictated by Federal Law, apparantly.
