Problem i have is brake pedal shaft has splines but the pedal dont
but its what was on the bike when i got it
didnt take really notice it when i stripped it

CS and CSR have a pinch bolt type while z650 have a push in type held in with a bolt into the brake spindle.

Yes there is, the earlier ones had a rounder pedal where the later had a more squarererer one.
This is the later one

yes the csr custom 650 + some of the 750's have the splined type pedal with a pinch bolt

Mikey take a look at the different models on this site. Most should have the splined type with a nut on the end of the shaft, but some did have a pinch bolt, I think on the type where the pedal mounts through an alloy hanger.

and as gprd says two styles of actual pedal where your foot presses (square and rounded corners)

I will take a photo of mine tomorrow as mine seems to have an extra bracket as well

Heres my pedal with my boney finger pointing at the extra bracket
shaft has splines but the pedal dont but when you do the nut up it grips
but surely that cant be right

Thats not a 650 pedal Mikey, the upright lever at the end should not be there. The shaft that goes through the footrest hanger should have the lever on the inside as well as the return spring.
Pics for comparing

Picture C3 pedal disc rear brake

Pics take a few seconds to load up and pedals look to come as two types as previous mentioned, rounded corners or squared off.

Don't worry about the pedal Mikey, I'd get the finger checked out!

LOOKS LIKE A H**** LEVER + IS SIMILAR TO A KH/250/400

Cheers guys best i head over to the wanted section see if anyone got a pedal
going spare

Just noticed that the brake height bolt should be other way up with head towards the pedal, gies it more contact area. It should have one nut to lock it in place, unless the threads in the frame lug are buggered, then it would need the second locknut.
