GSXR600 K1 (2001) needs the chain tightening.

What socket size do I order to loosen the nut on the rear wheel?
Also if you know its nut size that might help incase your American Wrenches are different to our English Socket sizes:confused

Cheers, ant

Buy a 36mm socket .. it's pretty handy for the rear wheel nut and the top triple tree nut (not that you'd ever have to replace a bent clip-on or anything)
