    i need a socket for the front axle, i did a quick measurement with my finger.. is it a 22mm? or is it bigger?


    looking to swap tires and im trying to compile a list of tools. i already have stands.

    10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 17mm 19mm

    i think the front brakes are 14mm, the axle clamps on the forks are 12 or 14mm

    rear wheel is 19mm lug nuts, like on all the other hondas... does this sound right?
    Thanks!

    Can't confirm the 2014 but the 5 & 6 Gens front axle nut is 22mm. The caliper bolts and fork axle clamps are 12mm, the rear lugs are 19mm and the rear axle clamp is 17mm.

    8th gen axle bolt is the same as previous gens. Replaced mine with a titanium one as part of my British-winter-proofing mods.

    I think I should do the same to mine. Due to Utah winters being I think similar. Thanks

    so started taking things apart,
    Front axle: 22mm
    Front axle clamp bolts: 12mm
    Front Caliper bolts: 14mm

    You must remove/rotate exhaust to get the rear wheel off, my akrapovic has a special clamp with a torx head for a fastener, and the hanger uses a 12mm bolt with a 13mm nut...
    Rear wheel lug nuts: 19mm




    Thanks for the help!
