Tool question - Are the Spyders metric, standard, or a combination?

[Doc McCoy]

Are the spyders metric or standard or a combination. I looked in the manual and could not find an answer.

Metric! Torx bits are their own category used on both metric and SAE applications. The most important thing to remember on Spyders is the 1330 engine crankcase plug is a T45 Torx and the clutch cover, a.k.a., transmission, plug is 6mm Allen.

All vehicles - even Harleys - are metric. Always check the rotation of the ratchet before putting it on a fastener. Especially the two oil drain plugs. Many have stripped those because they didn't check the rotation of the wrench. Or used a wrong or ill fitting bit.

Witch brings up a good point, try the socket or wrench on and if it seems loose, try the other breed to see if it is tighter! You just don't ever know these day's!

Currently?

No, unfortunately that's not true. HD has use a mix of SAE and metric on bikes for years. As they use new fasteners they are replacing with metric but old part numbers are still used on many current models and are SAE. One of my pet peeves working on HD is you can never be sure.

ALL Torx head fasteners are metric.

To answer the OP's question directly, all fasteners on Spyders are metric.
