Front Wheel Removal - Lagtaggio - 04-18-2024
What size tools do i need to remover the front wheel off my RS1250?
RE: Front Wheel Removal - oldjoe - 04-18-2024
I cannot find the size for smaller side, running to an appointment. Someone else will chime in , I'm sure. But I wanted to say I spent much time seeking a 24mm hex for the larger side...and then didn't need it. Expensive and hard to find, so it may be worth trying to do w/o if it works like mine did.

I know you asked about the 1250RS but the 1200RS should be the same for this operation. See this video:

So I don't see another post except Grumpy's video (always good). 22mm - not 24 - for the larger R side; 12mm on the L.
As I said, I bought the 22mm, but used ONLY the 12mm. Note in Grumpy's video, his experience was the opposite - he used the 22mm, but not the 12mm. I think you may frequently need only one side (but there are probably cases where you will need both). He also shows other tools and sizes.
