Oil Mesh Filter - Hex size?

[twozzie]

I'm about to change the oil on the Hyper and I see to clean the oil mesh filter (every other change) it looks like a 14mm hex head (allen key) size, can someone confirm this?

[Ric]

My 09 is 14mm.

[HYPERR]

Yep 14mm it is for my '08 as well.

Also fits the front axle nut of a 1996 900SS as well.

yup. 14mm and a bitch to crack open for the first time! Usual thread counter clockwise to remove.

If you have the outer cap (with the brass temp sensor) on the outside, that's a 21mm socket.
