Heres an easy question.....
 

Well hopefully easy for someone...me being the newb that I am, I dont have a clue (I should stick to fixing computers)

So I had my first off, well I should say down because I didnt come off of the bike (went for a nice slide with it). Fell on the left hand side so needless to say the gear shift arm bent and the footpiece broke off. So I had a go at fixing it the cheap way, but broke the shift arm while trying to take the bend out. Long story short (not short anymore I guess) I have a brand new shift arm from the stealership ready to go on.

The whole assembly from the heal guard - out is sitting on my coffee table, and I cant for the life of me figure out how to get the foot peg off to replace the shift arm. The bolt on the back-side of the heal guard looks like a HUGE allen key but with twice as many corners (almost looks like its been stripped).

Its a 2000 s, its blue, and Im clueless (hopefully not for long, Im learning) :)

The bolt type i guess you mean is called a "TORX". It is a quite common bolt head type nowadays, so i guess you can get the tool for it almost everywhere they sell tools :D
(If you were in Sweden, you could have borrowed mine...)

Intresting I was fairly sure the footpegs were held on by Allen bolts but if that's not what it is then Torx is a good guess :?

Definately Allen bolts on a UK curvy but maybe they're anti tampering for the USA and Canadian market. Torx bolts seem like a good guess.

Ditto

Thanks for the replies...it appears to be a #8 allen key... Just have to soak this part in some WD40 to get it to move!!

Thanks again, hopefully Ill be on the road this afternoon.

Glad you're sorted, but if anyone's reading this with a pointy, it requires circlip pliers on the outside, without removing heal plate etc. from bike - Thanks Law.

funny you should say that but i was in your town last year, we deal with a company called HTC who are based there. nice club in town centre, only opens about 3 nites a week. big hangover in the morning :)
