You know the alum key you use to undo the fuel tank, relatively often I assume to fill up the oil, well what size is it and can you get them from your local halfords or some such store? Im dreading the day when I lose this key, knowing my luck, it WILL happen! Embarassed

I think it's either a 5mm or a 6mm, and yes you can get them from anywhere really. Rolling Eyes

Its 5mm on the firestorm, i cant see honda using different size allen bolts because its the same fuel cap. You can pick up a whole set of allen keys for next to nothing from your local DIY place.

I don't think it's the fuel cap, Dru. The NSR tank has a horizontal allen bolt at the front by the headstock. It should be a size 5, but as Dru says, a full set shouldn't cost too much.

Doh! Youre right tin. I think that horizontal one is either 5mm or 6mm, like lee said, get your arse down B&Q and pick up a whole set, or dont lose the one you have Rolling Eyes
