clem Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I know that this is a somewhat silly question but since this is my first motorcycle that was built in the new millennium I'll fire away. Are the torx style bolts used on the FJ a standard tool size? Do they come in metric or imperial? JIS?? I need to buy a tool set for this bike and need direction on what I'm dealing with. Thanks Cory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Cory I don't think there are many (if any) "torx" bolts on the FJ.. most bolts are either hex head or allen wrench style and are metric. '15 FJ-09 w/ lots of extras...

Supporting Member betoney Posted March 21, 2018 Supporting Member Share Posted March 21, 2018 I don’t think I have encountered any Torx bolts. Pretty standard metric fasteners for most maintenance except front and rear axles which are larger than usual. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member DavidS Posted March 21, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted March 21, 2018 No Torx screws on the FJ-09, although if you replace the oil pan screw with the Volkswagen flat/flush version, that does indeed require a torx wrench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clem Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 Man, I surely thought that it had a few. Like the rear sub frame bolts? I have been so ecstatic with not having to work on it like my vintage bikes. I bragged to a buddy that I didn't even have tools to work on the new bike! I may have put my foot in my mouth.

koth442 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 There are some. Subframe (posted above) immediately came to mind. Those are called security torx. '15 FJ09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clem Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 Yep, those are the ones. I guess that I saw those and figured there may be more. After a quick look over the bike it appears as those are the only eight. Thanks for the input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member keithu Posted March 26, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted March 26, 2018 Although you don't need them for regular maintenance, a set of security torx bits are handy to have in the toolbox, and the security bits work on standard torx bolts too. I bought a set of security torx bits for $10-15 a few years ago to remove an airbag from a car steering wheel, and I've used them a few other times since.
