The screws holding my right footpeg and brake SNAPPED! Glad it happened on a straight at the start of a ride. I was at a track this monday, imagine if it had happened when I was in the middle of a turn. I know the previous owner laid it down once on the right side, so the screws were probably damaged then.
Couldn’t ride home, so had to call a tow truck. Took almost 2 hours for them to show up. Haven’t looked at it properly. I hope I can get the screws out without having to remove the exhaust.
Just wanted to share the story :)
It’s sheared off pretty clean. They can probably notch it and use a screwdriver. If they have to use an easy-out, it’s a bad day.
“They” are me in this case, no shops have any space right now. But I just had a look at them, and it doesn’t look impossible… might be enough if I bang them a bit with a flathead, and then I can probably get them out with pliers. Finding imperial size hex bolts here in Europe will probably be harder 😃
