Here’s how to repair a broken shifter toe peg on a motorcycle. The shifter toe peg on my Buell Cyclone was broken off almost completely flush with the shift lever, and the factory used thread locker when they installed it, so the only way to get it out was with an easy out bolt extractor, which is a special drill bit. First I drill a good-sized hole in the middle of the shifter peg bolt, Thia is the most important step. I made sure the hole was in the center of the bolt so I didn’t damage the threads on the gear shift lever. Then I put the easy out in the drill, set it to reverse, and it pulled the old broken bolt out. Then I cleaned out the threads in the shift lever and installed the new shifter toe peg using thread locker. Buell recommends using red Loctite. On my Harley Davidson FXR I installed a new shifter toe peg without using thread lock, and it unscrewed itself and fell of after a few weeks of riding. You definitely want to use some type of thread locker. There are no torque specs for putting the new motorcycle shifter toe peg on. Buell just says tighten it until snug. If you have ever crashed your motorcycle, than you’ve had to deal with this problem from the crash damage. I hope this video helps get you back on the road.
