To stop the foot peg from turning. If you look at the back of your pegs you will find the hole that this peg fits

If you look at the back of your pegs you will find the hole that this peg fits Been a while now since I looked at one of my bikes but I seem to recall the peg acts as an anchor point for the footrest. Sames as Grahams description but my recollection is that the footrest has a lug mounted on the back/front which locates behind this peg, the peg doesn't fit inside the footrest. Same principle, it stops the footrest from going any further forward, it will howeverallow the footrest to rotate backward if the engine mounting bolt the footrest locates on isn't tight enough.
Why grind it off then?
LOL if that's correct Lester then Graham is wrong, the L/H peg clearly has the lug behind the hole to butt up against the frame lug, the R/H side MAY have the hole but according to the parts list diagram the R/H side doesn't. As the picture shows the side stand mounting plate it's clearly the L/H side of the bike. So although both of us are correct if that's the case, this time I win as the picture shows the side with the lug not the brake side. Plus if it was right the frame lug would be in front of the bolt hole not behind it as in the pic.

The left hand peg has a hole for the dowel to fit into, the right hand peg has a lug. Then I would suggest you look at them again, the L/H side is the gear change side, the R/H side should be much more complicated as it has to cope with the kickstart mechanism. Sides are determined by how you sit on the bike not by looking at it from the front.
