Need Some Info

[GSX1100FL]

It is time to replace the chain & sprockets, the front sprocket is giving me some trouble, the biggest socket I have is a 27mm & of course it is too small for the nut that is retaining the sprocket, does anyone know what size the nut is?
I think it's a 32mm but not sure.

I can get a 1 1/4" open end wrench on the nut but not in a way that it can be useful & I would rather use a metric socket to remove the nut.

I looked at one place on line that sells factory oem parts for our big Kats & if I'm looking at the correct part it states that the size of the nut is 20mm, that's wrong.

20mm might be the size of the part but not the size of the wrench needed. A 5mm screw uses an 8 mm socket for example. On the "little" Kats it is 32 mm or some have used 1 1/4. I think 1 1/4 might be a little tight.

I know I'll get flamed for this, but, I used a metric adjustable wrench.

Oh, and it was left handed too! 8)

It is a 32mm socket, picked one up before I went to work yesterday, perfect fit.

Same size as the 600 and 750 Kats , FWIW . I use an 1 1/4" socket , which is pretty much the same as a 32mm .

I kept running across the 1 1/4" sockets but they were all deep-well.

If I could have gotten my wrench on there good enough to have used it I would have went with that but all I could get onto the nut was the open end of the wrench.
