I can tell you with 100% certainty that a 07 is 30MM, and not 32MM. I went out and foolishly bought a 32MM brought it home and watched it almost spin on the nut. I broke out the digital calipers and measured it(why didn't I thing of that to begin with), and its 30MM.

That's why I went out and bought it without even measuring it. I guess they might have changed the size on the 07, but I don't know. I do know the 07 is 30MM though. I'll hold on to the 32mm for the rear wheel. If anyone has an Autozone near by they were having a 25% off tool sale, and I picked up the socket for under 5 bucks.

Odd that they changed that

:rtfm:

I bought mine at Sears for $5 or so....32mm

Next time I'll just say :rtfm:

I guess they might have changed the size on the 07, but I don't know.

Who would have guessed? The 32mm I use fits both my counter-shaft nut and my axle nut. You fuggers have less rotating mass!

Yea, I wouldn't think in a million years that that would have changed. I am sure if I would have tried to spin it bad things would have happened.

FYI ......IN THE 2007 FZ6 IT COMES WITH A TOOL KIT... AND UMMMM
THE WRENCH IS IN THE KIT.... :thumbup:

Apparantly his tool kit came with a 'CAPS Lock' key.

I wonder what else he has in his tool kit?...perhaps it also has a fork to eat his humble pie with...mmmmm, pie.
