Axel nut size

26mm IIRC
definitely 26mm
I have most of a 26mm spanner velcroed to the subframe under my seat. I cut off the open end of a combination spanner, grinding the end to the shape of a tyre lever.

26 ???
Man, I travelled 3000 km with my F650 / F800 tool kit which has a 24 socket for the back wheel. I would have looked like an idiot if I would have had a flat tire...
and what is the size of the front one?

The F650/F800 are 24mm it's the G series that are 26mm
Thanks Micky.
considering my X is 7.000 km away, can you tell me if it is the same 26 back and Front? Also I noticed that on Xc there are no Torx bolts isn't it? they are all Allen hex wrenches?

On my 2007 G650XC the front and rear axle nuts are both 26mm
Some folk modify by fitting a machined down 24mm from a KTM but I just went out and bought a 26mm socket .... not a common size and not often found in a socket set
Yes ... all Allen bolts but they could have been changed by a previous owner so you'll need to look

KTM are 27mm and fit fine, plus are 'closed' so no muck goes down the spindle & threads, however you have to machine the KTM nut for the front, because the KTM nut has a lip
KTM ones are 10 grammes lighter too

Well that wouldn't be an issue with us now would it
Thanks for the correction re size

IIRC the only torx bolts on mine are the ones that hold the oil filter cover on.
Don't think my rear wheel has been of since 2009!
Bloody thing was stuck solid I had to hammer it all the way and in the process knackered the end of the axle - I might just be able to save it ( or rather I'm hoping an engineer can)
It was rust in the axle spacer tube that caused it.
Also the alloy spacers on each side look very chewd up ( as though they at some stage been spinning and wearing away)
