Hello everyone! I'm brand new to this forum as well as being a Motorcycle owner in general. (Just got my endorsement back in January.) Well, I went with a 2001 Suzuki Savage and man I've been loving every moment of it. The problem I got now is my left foot peg (the kickstand side) started being wobbly, then suddenly fell right off! I thought, ok I'll just put it back on, but nope. The bolt holding it onto the bracket has snapped off into the socket. I'm wondering what you guys would suggest I do, seeing as I have literally 0 mechanical skills. Mind you, I've got decent skills with firearms maintenance and I used to be an embalmer for 8 years, so I can sure do that ok! lol sorry, off topic. Anyway, attached are the best pictures I could take of the damage. My local bike shop seems to be giving me the run around about whether or not they can remove the bolt. So any advice you guys have would mean wonders to me! Thanks so much and sorry for the long winded description!

Those bolts go all the way through.  Go to the other side and turn it.

Note
The bolts hold your sidestand on. I'm not sure about it staying perfectly in place with a bolt out.
Probably a good plan to support the bike balanced and not on it.

Sorry,, I should have been more specific.
The bolts go all the way across, and hold the other peg too.
They are responsible for clamping the engine cases together across the bottom and keeping it from imitating Harleys.

The kindle is kinda small.. I'm not sure about what I'm seeing. Someone will come along with a better answer. Sorry to not have the answer you're needing.

I have tools and mechanical skills, and if it were me I would put some penetrating oil on it overnight and then try to drill it out with a standard drill bit or try an easy-out that some folks here have used. Seeing that this might be a tight space, not sure if the easy-out can get down in there whereas a long drill bit can?

Worst case you drill the entire things out and have to put an old fashioned bolt and nut all the way through since you would have drilled out your threads too.

Worst case go to out marketplace and see if anyone is selling a complete left foot peg assembly, or post a wanted ad for one. You never know who has stuff laying around for a few bucks and shipping.

It requires removing 2 long bolts that got clear though the engine to the footpeg on the other side, a shorter bolt, the shifter, the side stand and the sidestand safety switch.  If you don't have any tools....it is impossible.  If you do have some tools it is not too hard of a job.

Where do you live?

Looks like the closest somewhat active forum member to you (according to those that have submitted their location for our map) is KimChris1.  Haven't seen posts from him/her recently though?

Maybe someone will pop up that lives near Settle that can offer a hand.  If you want to solicit a hand from Savages on our forum, maybe post a "I need help in Seattle" post in the Cafe.  

Also, if you can navigate the control panel and find it, put your location in your profile so folks see it and know where you are at a glance, as they may see that and offer a hand.

Good luck!

Yeah, thanks guys for so much useful advice. I went ahead and ordered the part replacement in the last photo I uploaded, plus the supposed bolt to go in. So wish me luck!! I might be back asking a ton more questions nd expect to hear either good news or the bike exploded and leveled the building I live in!!
