Could someone confirm the size of the paralever pivot locking nuts? Need to order a socket and I can't find anywhere that states the size.

Better to buy this.

Then you can keep the 12 mm Hex Nut in place when fastening the big nut to the correct torque value.
I have one and it works great.

speaking of this, I have had my GS for over 20000kms and still have no discernible play in the rear end (of the bike)
, so is it only necessary to adjust when there is play, or should adjustment be done as a routine maintenance item.Only reason I ask was that I was talking to a BMW tech guy recently who expressed interest in that they havent needed adjustment, reckons they usually do every 10000kms.Maybe its just the gay way I ride!

Just ordered one
An excellent price - they used to be silly money.
Edit: UK buyers make sure you order from the .co.uk site - cheaper postage as the .com defaults to international signed for delivery:

Strange - even though my 2002 GS Adv is listed on the link as having 24mm, it is in fact 30mm...
