Hello,

I have a slight problem. One of the bolts of my kickstand fell off and the other one is very loose. When I park my bike it leans WAY over.

I would like to tighten it, but all of my allens are too small. Does anyone know the size off the top of their heads (it is very big)? Also, does anyone know the size of the bolt as I will need to go to Home Depot/Ace Hardware and find it. Problem is.. I would have to take the bolt out to find it.. and that would = no kickstand...

If you've got the cash, do yourself a favor and buy a metric t-handle hex key set.

I think it's a 10mm hex.

yup 10MM or 8 mm it is, and good luck on the bolt at homedepot...if you can find an OSH they may have it otherwise look up metric hardware on your computer and locate a shop near you..or go to the dealer and they may have one for a few bucks.....
