    Thanks for the clip.
    Can you put a link to the pedal please?
    Was it (the foot pedal) Suzuki OEM or third party?
    What year is your DL1000?
    Do you think it is the same as 2020 1050 XT?
    Mine is a bend a bit, is it wise to heat it up and straiten it?

      Hi ! My V strom is a 2007 . I got the foot pedal on ebay for around a 100 bucks. I doubt it would be the same as the 2020 1050 xt but ya never know. What I do when looking for parts is use a parts selling site like partzilla.com or snowcity.com and use their parts finder to look up the part and get the part number. Then once you get the part number for whatever it is you need you can put it in a Google search bar or ebay and search for your part . Can't remember if my foot pedal was oem but I think it was not sure tho. Whenever you bend metal back like a bent foot pedal, it gets weaker and there for less dependable. If you need to make a panic stop .You would most likely putting maximum force on it and having it break off could be life changing. That's why I replaced mine. Not worth taking a chance for 100 bucks. It's easy to change.

      @@CenterStandMechanX you are right. installing a new one is the right way. Also thanks for the "search" tips ....
      oh one more question ... what are your thoughts on folding pedals. I see two sides, 1) it will fold (and not bend/brake) if contacts the pavement, 2) some believe the pedal is the canary in the coal mine. It will protect the rest of the engine.

      @TheMontaseri I like folding brake levers. Little extra give is always good. Especially off road. Less likely to snag on a branch or root whatever. Rocks and tight places. I guess it just depends on what kind of riding you do. If your mostly on the road go for comfort and safety. One thing I notice a lot for myself that is a bit of a nuisance is when I move bikes around in my small back yard. I've got a few of them and the foot pegs and brake levers catch on each other. The bike I'm moving snags on the other bikes parked near by and can be a bit of a pain. Folding ones would be more favorable. Idono not a huge deal but could be if I knock another bike over by getting caught up on it.

      @TheMontaseri Right on thank you . I'm glad I could help. I'm currently working on a series called "The Ultimate Zombie Apocalypse Bike" on my channel. I'm resurrecting an old Yamaha xs650 back to life. Kinda like a rat rod thing with a lot of challenges. I welcome you to check it out and hope you enjoy. Cheers!
