Triumph Sprint ST 2001 two questions

Does anyone know:
A. What size allen key I need to remove the front wheel spindle on the
above bike? Looks like about 15mm.

B. Does a front wheel from a 2001 Sprint RS fit a 2001 ST?

TIA

Push a bit of Blu-Tak(tm) into it and measure it, you idle fucker.

Fucknose.

HTH

 

It'll be 14mm, not 15mm

Yes, they share the same basic chassis/forks/front wheel/engine
cases/brakes/tank/seat. The difference is in fairings/swingarms/rear
wheel and I think power output.

Same engine & tune == same power output. Different (aftermarket)
exhausts would be the only thing making a difference.

My mistake, I thought the RS was a little more punchier. But it
definitely had a double sided swingarm and different fairing, with only
the very last RSs getting a single sider.

Yes, and in fact the normal one was much better - the chain adjustment
on the single-sider was a right fucking pain in the arse.

I found it a piece of piss.

Well mine seized up at the 12000m service, so was a warranty job to
get fixed, plus the supplied C-spanner was apparently made of cheese,
so would need to be hammered flat before, during and after each use.
Oh, and the toolkit didn't include a large enough spanner to slacken
the rear wheel spindle nut.

Weird, mine was fine all the time I owned it and I think there was a
spanner for the big nut, but I bought a 1/2" drive socket anyway.

Sorry I wasn't clear. There was, I think, a spanner to fit the nut,
but it wasn't big or tough enough to actually do the job without a
foot-long extension and/or a ****-off lump hammer applied. I bought a
big ring spanner specially and kept it in the toolkit. Left it there
when I sold it too.
