went to top up the brake fluid this morning as my cb500 brake feels "spongy" and the level is low

went to undo the bolts holding the lid on but their neither 10 nor 15 in the middle :S

15 doesnt fit and 10 slips

i have a feeling its 15 but the owner before me has istalled pink bolts on most things

i think they are bolts she bought sprayed not one shes done herself but have any of u guys seen a 12.5 torx head before?

Seen 12 torx head bits. I have one in my toolkit and I do find it very useful. In this case I think it would be worth investing in the correct sized torx bit so you can remove all the pink anodised crap and throw it in the dustbin.

Are you sure? I've never seen or heard of a size 12 Torx. a quick google doesn't find anywhere that sells them.


Are you sure it isn't a XZN.
