What size hex wrench(s)?

[Steve Minor]

What size hex wrench fits the head bolts on a 1977 400 GS6? Also, what varity of wrenches and hex wrenches should I have on hand to stip this 77 400 GS6? Any "special" tools? I plan to send the motor off for a rebuild so that won't come into play. I'm not looking for a "showroom" restoration but rather a fun bike....strip, replace needed parts, touch up paint....etc

Thanks
Steve

The large bolts are a 10mm. Get one that fits the end of your torque wrench, that way you'll be able to re-torque it. I think the smaller ones are 8.
10,13,&17mm wrenches and sockets will just about rebuild one.
