Rotor pin

[signart]

Anybody know offhand what size allen wrench fits the rotor pin for brake pad service is? I want to go shopping for a socket type allen tool to fit a ratchet. Don't have any metric allen tools on hand to check. Thanks.

I can't remember that one, but why not buy a set?  You'll need other sizes for other fasteners on the Valkyrie.

I'l buy a set when a deal comes along, need s.a.e. set also. Just want to get by and recoup from a battery, tire, and brake pad wound to the back pocket. When I invest in tools, I like the best that money can buy, only  I like them half price.

I'm thinking 7.  Not sure, it's been a while.

Most everything on the bike is either 5 or 6, but I'm leaning toward 5 for the brake pad pin.  Definitely not 7.

I got tired of people guessing so I went out and removed the locking screw and yes the pin is a 5 mm allen head .

Thanks Art. Going to the flea market, see if'n I can scratch something out. Good name, I like it. Ride safe, Art Woody.

Sears has sets that are usually on sale and even if they are not they are good and inexpensive and exchangeable.

Trip to the flea mkt. paid off. Found a set of long handle allen wrenches from Sears with speed dealies on the long end (not marked Craftsman) priced $5. Says lifetime warranty. Also set of allen sockets priced $6, package deal $10. All made over yonder. Man said he would have Klien wrenches next week. I'll get my brake job done with these, when I replace them I give them to no. 1 grandson to work on his Cowasaki.
