A bit pathetic really....
I went to adjust my drive chain yesterday and realised I hadn't got as big enough spanner! The manual doesn't say what size the nuts are on each end of the spindle. Anyone know? I need to go out an buy 'em - the spindle and the nut have different size 'large nuts'!!!!!
In case you wonder if I've never adjusted 'em before - I did it in a mate's workshop last time and then it got done at the last service.
PS - chased a Bimota on some Cornish back roads on Saturday - and one! Dunno what model it was though....

Thats what they are on my Scrambler anyway.

I just did mine last week using a 15/16 inch. I was wondering what the metric equivalent was. I do have a 19 mm, I was guessing a 24 but wasn't sure til now. db

Cheers guys. It's a pity the manual just says 'slacken the axle nut' - which is prety obvious - but not what size the nut is!

It does say what size. you have to read thru it.
It clearly says, " The nut is larger than the spanner in your hand, but smaller than the next 3 you will try." you just have to look
:razz:

It's not a big mystery. You can measure the nut with a cheap sliding gauge or dividers.
