ST1300 Fork Cap Wrench Size?

[Tankereng]

Changing out my fork springs tomorrow and I'm trying to find out what the size of the Allen wrench for the Fork cap is.... Don't want to buy a whole set for one size...

Anyone know what size I need?

It is a 17 mm.

It is a 17 mm.

Yup, same size as the socket (hex) end of the front axle, IIRC.

Picked one up this afternoon, it's the right size (17mm). Always used a 3/8th extension to tap out the front axle before..

Be careful, those caps are easy to deform. An impace wrency works well.
