Can any one trll me the actual size of the oil plug? I'll need to buy a wrench, the closest I can see it measures 1-1/8" will this work?

Thanks for responding, I'm surprised it isn't a metric size, 1-1/16 is not even close to one.

Try 27 mm.

Yamaha was great for using nuts and bolts that had an exact inch size equivalent to the metric for the conveinience of the American and British market. Like the bolt for the oil screen is 13/16, which is a standard spark plug size.
