Hey guys,
I have a 90 CBR250RR and my left foot peg and gear shift pedal have somehow wiggled themselves a little loose. I obviously need to tighten the assembly, but I'm not quite sure how to do this or what tools I need.
From what I can see the assembly is fixed to the frame by a triangle shaped bracked with two large bolts requiring an allen key to loosen, which I assume I need to remove to get to the little bolt/nut that holds the pedal and peg together as no tool will fit in the gap between this bolt/nut and the chain.
I have an electronic copy of the manual which contains a section on how to remove the gear shift pedal, but as it's a scanned copy the pictures are bloody hard to see, plus I just want to tighten whatever is loose so my footpeg and gear shift pedal dont wiggle anymore!
So my questions are:
- is there an easy way to do this? (im deciding to pass on the hard way today)
- what tools do I need to achieve this? Do you know what size allen key I need and what size spanner or ratchet I need to tighten whatever is holding them together? I ask because I am going tool shopping on my lunchbreak!!
All help appreciated!
Tim
p.s.
sorry if my novel doesnt make much sense - i was up at 4am this morning to drop sister off at airport after a late night, so brain not in gear yet.
