To dampen vibration. Buzzy vibration through the footpegs can put your feet to sleep.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

wear the lead out instead of the peg
I can't decide :P
I like my reason better lol

Would you prefer to wear out the actuall footpeg, or the wieghts on the footpeg mate, amazing what a bit of thinking can do for you

They're sacrificial anodes to stop the bike's components rusting if you park it in the ocean.

As the finely tuned instrument she is, one of the final inspections is to make sure the balance of the bike is perfect. By adding weights to the footpegs the manufacturer makes sure that the bike does not require you to ride by sitting on one side of the seat with your azz. (How many times have we not followed a bike and seen the rider in front of us strangely having his azz hanging over to one side?)Bandit 1200s 1998

You can test this by, (on a flat hard surface) leaving the bike standing on its tyres only (no stands used in this test). The bike, if properly balanced, will stay straight up not requiring any support.
But if the bike falls over to one side causing costly repairs, you should contact the local agent and request that he rectifies this problem.
Hope you find this information useful.
Hired tool
Have you not heard of "weighting the pegs"? All the fast guys do it
Ok im coming out of my closet just this one time, I too kinda have a curvy figure which makes it worse beacuse im a guy. Well the waist kinda goes in and the bum pushes out. When I was in college the girls in my year would slap me on the arse and squeeze because apparently it is firm, tight...
I wear jeans
.....if I find this as a signature Ill hunt you down, serious, capice?
Here for the arcade.
Because your bike is gay!
Just thought I'd add to the stupid responses

They're to set-off the traffic light sensors.
Measure once, cut twice. Practice makes perfect.
I like bikes
Maybe I need some of these "weights". My bike has issues with buzzing like a p crazed bumblebee when I'm giving it the berries
Shaun, I'm sure you could recommend the Ohlins $250 each racing model, but I'm too poor!!

I think you find that they're actually made of a ferrous metal that has a specific magnetism.
These magnets are on the footpegs because this area aligns best with the lines of force of the earths magnetic field.
Without these your bike actually may fly off the ground on a tangental path if you ride far enough to go over the horizon.
My advice id to keep them on at all cost or you might head off into space!
