Front Sprocket Nut

Before I go and take my bike to bits,

Does anyone have the specification for the front Sprocket Nut ?

Not listed in the Parts or workshop manuals......

No not the size of the socket, the specification of the nut, 32mm is the outside, what about the inside ???

Granted I've got an X but when I changed the C&S Kit the other week mine was very much like this too.

FWIW, I wouldn't bother with a socket - try an angle grinder!
Had a long bar (trolley jack lever) on the socket on my Ten with the rear brake locked solid........stood on bar, bounced a bit and the freakin' socket still won't budge! The nut is torqued to 85 ft-lb (12kgm)!!!! Twice the torque output of the engine.
WHY???? Suzuki's DR650/750/800 sprocket nut is held in place by a locking plate which in turn is screwed to the sprocket with 3x M10 bolts.....

Erm, thanks people.......

It's a super secret mission, and I just don't think anyone has the security vetting for me to tell you.

Never mind, all resolved now.

Machine Mart, �20 odd quid, Clarke 12v impact driver.

I agree the locking plate method does the job just as well (although the DR750/800 has a gurt big nut) and is much less of a PITA.

Would a 12v power tool really be powerfull enough to deal with such a highly torqued/seized nut?
As for an air gun - I was thinking more along the lines of a shotgun!!!

Btw Uber, my DR800SL has a locking plate as well.

So Darren, back to topic: belt/shaft drive conversion??!! ;-)
