Hi all, anybody a link or thread on how to remove rear passenger foot pegs, losing patience! Lol. 2016 blade. Cheers
Remove rear cowl, split rear subframe removing one side at a time. One side off, unscrew peg, refit and then do the same on the other side. This keeps the battery tray in place.
I read this one before I tackled mine. Goes into quite a bit of detail but it's pretty straight forward. https://trinityzxr750l1.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/fitting-sato-racing-street-hooks-to.html?m=1
These are my notes from my iPhone... for an abs model, if it's not abs then ignore the abs bits! Credit to wherever I copied the base from, but can't remember where (or if I even copied them in the first place!!) CBR1000RR Pillion pegs removal / reinstall Remove pillion seat Remove seat Remove tank cover bolts (or entire tank cover) Remove 4 cowl fairing bolts Slide cowl back (when re-installing, ensure tabs are slid into place at bottom) Remove 4 bolts holding pillion seat catch mechanism Pull fuse box out (use a screwdriver to release clip) Remove bolt under fuse box Remove 4 bolts under cowl Remove small plastic popper screw on rhs under cowl Cowl will now drop down Remove bolt holding side arms together Remove 1 side at a time:- 2 big bolts (54Nm) - bottom bolt has a nut behind it - be sure to catch it! 1 bolt holding tank in place 2 bolts under cowl similar to catch mechanism On RHS remove two bolts for abs pipe stay (be careful when reinstalling and make sure cable and pipes not caught) RHS has abs stay clamp and bolts are in place with spacer nuts - disregard spacer nuts when reinstalling pegs.
All of us with 08 - 16s ask the same question. 04 - 07s are easy as are 2017 - 19s. I think it was just the 'neatness' factor.
