I have misplaced the Allen key for this tank retaining bolt, for my R1150gs 2003 twin spark.(The yellow arrow in this piccy).

As the bike is stored in The Gambia at the mo', I can't go out to the garage to check for myself!

So I would be very grateful if some kind tosser could let me know the size of Allen key required.

Thanks. Grateful for any conformation of 6mm as first order of business in Banjul Monday week is to lift the tank and reconnect the battery!
 
i would have thought a cheap set of allan keys wouldn’t set you back much £. failing that a pair of mole grips will get it off, plenty to grab and they’re not usually *that* tight!
 
Yes 6mm
It's an 8mm bolt

Thanks Neil and gog. Don't want to bring a bunch of Allen keys on a flight as hand luggage when I only need one (and the GS has a complete original tool-set, except for this). Will now locate a 6mm key amongst those in my home tool box.
 
Thanks guys...it worked (as you will see from my blog in Gael Warnings etc
