got my info straight from my socket set !!! had to adjust my chain !!

Don't mean to throw a socket (erm, spanner) in the works, but doesn't it depend on waht tpe of swing arm you have? Or are the later models the same nut size?

:saint:Usually just grab whatever socket fits,would'nt have a clue what size it was,so i looked it up:saint:

That was me :D Didn't want to duplicate the (mis)information ;)

The manual says 30mm... but probably refers to the thread of the axle not the socket you require. Oops.

If it's any consolation Logyk, I have a titanium axle nut supplied by a well known Tasty supplier which, when I came to fit it last weekend turned out to be totally the wrong size.
