Final drive filler rounded

[pitrat101]

Hi guys, just dropped all oils on bike, found the oil filler to be rounded off. What is exact size of torx to fit? Can the drive be filled from speedo sensor hole?

Can be filled through speed sensor.

On closer inspection with all crude removed it's a 6mm hex. So all sorted now.

Yes, that's right. Torx drain plug and hex fill. Makes perfect sense!

Love my Hexhead but the assortment of Allen head, torx head, different size nuts & bolts does my head in when carrying out a service. Nothing difficult to do, just bloody awkward due to all the different fasteners used. The 1150 is a breeze in comparison.

Yeah found that out. Ended up going into work to get more tools, thought I'd only need a few torx bits! At least the valve clearances are eady to set, need to shim 3 of them. Just hope dealer stocks them hate leaving heads in bits while waiting for parts. Suprised at 10,000 miles the exhaust valves are 0.45mm and one inlet at 0.25mm.
