sump plug hex key

[kwallace21]

Hello men (and women)
just went out to the garage to change the oil on my 1150 gsa 04, removed sump guard and noticed the sump plug is a hex fitting rather than a good old fasioned bolt. Before I rush off to halfords can anyone tell me the size of hex socket I need to buy to fit my wrench.
Thank you, all knowing ones.

8mm ALLEN (on my antique anyway)


my local Halfords have always been happy for me to 'try out' to make sure - just means asking them and leaving my helmet/gloves at the till....

I'd buy a set of all the standard sizes if i were you- most of the fastenings on a GS are allen bolts.
And thats metric size, not whitworth or AF.
