I'm looking to remove the passenger footpegs on my CB650r to clean up the look of the bike.

I cannot seem to find anywhere to size of the hex bolt these are held in with - my 6mm hex key does not fit.

Anyone know the size of the hex bolt these are held in with?

I don't have any other Allen key sizes to hand.
They are definitely hex bolts.

Was just wondering if someone knew the correct size and I could go buy the right key.
Either way more Allen keys are needed

also remember removing rear pegs is a MOT fail if you dont fit a cowl/single seat cover
+1.

you may be able to identify the hex size off a parts fiche such as Fowler’s, but I’d just get a set of Allen keys rather than playing the guessing the bolt size games. It’s not like they’re a rare tool.

A full set of Allen keys can be picked up for well under a fiver, I'd just go and get those.

If you're quick and have prime they'll be there tomorrow.

This. What kind of bloke doesn't even have a full Allen key set :confused:

You should know that to own a motorcycle you need a different tool for every nut or bolt, it's just the way things are. Anything less than 50 spanners and you may as well learn to iron and do dishes.

Got the correct size, was an 8mm hex key
Bought a new set to cut out the guess work

@Snaggle thanks for the info on the MOT failure, honestly didn't think of that.
Footpegs have been kept and will go back on for MOT test

No got a whole new set
I did have a set previously but for some reason it just sent to 6mm

Got out on the bike today, was nice to blow the cobwebs off and clear the head
