Wheel bolt size??

Post by Philip Dunn »

Can anyone with a 2023 Tiger kit please tell me what size socket I need for the 18 2.5x4Hex wheel bolts on the reverse of the wheels?
I have tried 4.5 and 5 millimetre and they are too small or too big.

I think I have added a link, but not sure

Thanks
Phil

Is it not a clearance issue with socket to wall ?
check socket thickness first i think, i have thinned a few due to this issue.

4.5 = .177"
5.0 = .197"

only leave 3/16th @ .1875" as option.
Martin.

Thanks Martin, 3/16 fits okay, not a perfect fit but good enough to do the job.πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰
