Title: Stem nut tool
Post by: chupacabra on February 05, 2007, 07:22:09 AM
Where can I find a stem nut tool without going to the dealer? I'd like to order one online but can't seam to find one. I bought one years back but have lost it. I think that was from moition pro.  :thanks:

Have you looked at the places that sell Motion-Pro stuff?

You should be able to find a spanner in either fixed or adjustable at someplace like Sears, Harbor Freight, Tool Town or one of those expensive tool trucks like Snap-On, Mac, etc.

Although you wouldn't be the first guy to use a small punch to loosen and tighten it.

What  I'm looking for is more like a socket then a spanner, a socket with four fingers on it.

Hmmmm.....to get the EXACT size, you'd probably end up buying the Suzuki tool which, if you're keeping the bike, is not a bad thing, really......plus it probably fits a whole bunch of other Suzukis and (probably) Kawasakis too. Get your dealer to take a look in the service manual for your bike if you don't have the factory manual. It'll be in there and it'll even have the Suzi part number shown. It may be that part #09940-14911
is the correct socket. That's what all the big bore older Suzis use for that nut through about the '94 model year....and I wouldn't be surprised if the mid size bikes used the same socket too.

Yes, #09940-14911 is the OEM part #, its been about 6 or 7 years sence I bought one maybe it wasn't aftermarket maybe it was OEM I can't remember nor can I find the one I bought back then  :boohoo: . I checked a couple dealers and they want $80  :duh:  for one. Just trying to find one cheaper if I can.

Like I said, one of those tool trucks might have something like that. While those kind of nuts aren't as common as a hex nut, they are found from time to time on all sorts of machinery. We have several different sizes of those kind of nuts on the planes at work.
