Metric or Standard Allen Wrenches

[RyanExtra]

Quick question, doe the buell use standard or metric for their allen bolts? Im specifically talking about the one for the passenger pegs.

If you know the size please share. Im guessing 10 mm.

Standard
I dont know the size off the top of my head

i think its 3/8

[jakestolar]

I know it is a fraction! hahah

[RyanExtra]

Metric would be so much better.

[konarider94]

sometimes a 10mm will work, its close to 3/8

I found ONE allen bolt on my bike that was a metric. It was really odd....

99% of everything on any auto/ truck/ suv are metric. I'm a auto mech and I had brake caliper brackets on a ford the other day that were standard sized but other then that I couldn't tell ya the last time anything I touched were not metric. Prob. last winter when I was working on the Buell (almost forgot about my shifter bolt falling out last month, had to use a standard socket there) Oh and it was an after market caliper I think cuz the drivers side was a torx and passenger side was an American Allen.

Would be VERY nice if everything was metric.

Yeah the US system of measurement really blows

XBs use a mix of standard and metric. Wrenching on cars for a living, you develop an eye for metric and standard fasteners.

Be careful, if the wrench/socket is loose, step down a size. Stripped allen heads suck!

EDIT: From what I recall, the passenger pegs are standard SAE.
