More advice please - Torx size

[RacersEdge]

Hi all, frantic day of fitting today... Tail tidy, sat nav power, rad and cooler guards all on. Can't fit my crash bungs though cos of that humongous torx bolt on cylinder head to frame. I haven't anything anywhere that big. Can't see in the manual where it says the size though, does anyone know what size torx bit I need and I can pop into town tomorrow and get one.... Many Thanks!

Probably a T-40. But I'd get a decent set of Torx sockets so it's not an issue. I believe they are Torx Plus technically.

Tried a T40, definitely much bigger than that. I have a small set that will do for just about every other bolt on the bike but this is likely a one off to fit the crash bungs...

T50

This is the bolt you are working on:

caveat - I presume the '15+ is the same engine mount bolt, it looks the same as previous gens.

For the 2015/16 model the engine mount bolts require a T50.
