i seem to have misplaced my metric allen key set, and my haynes manual doesn't list the size i need. to save me buying the wrong item, can someone tell me what size allen key i need to for the rear brake adjustment on the na8/nb8a brakes? cheers

The enthusiasts guide says 6mm. But that didn't sound right...so I just went out to the garage, pulled out my old set of NA6 brakes...... I'm almost 100% sure that the same sized key is required for the NA6 and the NA8/NB8A/B.

The answer is 4mm.

4mm on NB8B. I fitted my new brakes last Tuesday.

Duuuuuuude, buy an entire set of allen keys, cheap as chips (you don't need fancy ones for the brakes).

There's so many things you'll end up using them on. I think I used 3 different sized allen keys doing an oil change on my motorbike.
