Title: Rear wheel nut size on Gen 2 FZ1
Post by: monkeyb0b on 27 January 2012, 01:45:47 pm

Afternoon, first time I've ventured onto the new boards!
Quick question, went to adjust the chain on the bike today and looking at the axel nut it's bigger than any socket (or spanner) I have can anyone confirm the size for me? I think it's 31mm but want to be sure before I go out trying to find a socket of that size
thanks in advance

Believe its a 32mm.
 
Bought a 32mm socket after reading in "Hot Poop" that 32mm was the correct size for front sprocket nut removal.  Front sprocket nut turned out to be 36mm and the only thing I could find on the bike that a 32mm socket fitted was the rear axle nut.
 
Cheers

Top job trossman, twas a 32mm bought me a socket and adjusted an embarrasing amount of slack out of the chain :)
