Cylinder Head Bolt Size

[Stuart42]

Hi

As my bike is currently over in Northern Ireland, so have to take tools over with me.

I seem to recall the cylinder head bolts can't be undone with a standard 1/2" drive socket, so was going to get a long reach socket, but can't remember what size socket I need, so anyone know what size they are please?

Cheers Stuart

They're nothing too odd-ball. I seem to remember they're in the 12-14mm region. I may be able to check later if needed?

According to Robinsons Foundry it's 09103-10272 - (10 x 160mm) £4.83

Lots of SV bits are reduced atm.

Thanks guys.

If you could measure what socket I would need I'd be grateful as don't want to buy the wrong size and only find out when over there.

Just take an adjustable spanner, you know the type we use at work. One size fits all

Thanks for that Dickie, trouble is I haven't got anywhere to stand on the bike to boot it round, should it be tight!

Hi Jambo
Did you get chance to measure the bolt head?

To prove I'm not always taking the pizz, there are 4 x 12mm, 2 x 10mm & 1 x 5mm allen bolt, according to this thread
