This is about the best I can do for ya, viewtopic.php?f=10&t=2380&hilit=allen+wrench (http://www.gz250bike.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=2380&hilit=allen+wrench)


According to two different people on this thread it is a 12mm, the reason I posted a link instead of an answer is that I don't personally know for a fact, and I no longer own a GZ to go check. But 12mm seems to be a safe bet.

i think one of my old post has that information, let me see if i can find it

well i bought a set that came with a few of these, i bought it specifically to get off the front wheel, the 12 and the 14 have both been used, it is one of those, i tried them out on the front wheel of my new suzuki and the 12 is the one that fit. so it would probably be the 12

i found that a T60 bit worked perfectly. thanks for your replies and i hope my discovery helps others :)
