FAQs

What Honda motorcycle models is this socket compatible with?

This socket is designed for a wide range of Honda models, including the CB, CBX, CBR, GL, VFR, VT, Goldwing, Shadow, and Magna series. It is intended for the steering stem nuts on these motorcycles.

What size drive does this socket require?

The socket features a 1/2" drive, meaning it is compatible with standard 1/2" drive ratchets, torque wrenches, and breaker bars.

What material is the socket made from?

The socket is manufactured from medium carbon steel, which is heat-treated for enhanced strength and durability, and then finished with a chrome plating for corrosion resistance.

Can this socket be used for tightening as well as loosening?

Yes, the socket is designed for both loosening and tightening Honda steering stem nuts, allowing for complete service of the steering head assembly.

What are the dimensions of the socket?

The external diameter is 48.5mm, the internal diameter is 41.5mm, the depth is 59.5mm, and it features four teeth measuring 5mm x 4mm.

Will this socket work on non-Honda motorcycles?

This socket is specifically designed and manufactured for Honda steering stem nuts. It is not intended for use on other motorcycle brands, as their nut sizes and designs may differ significantly.

Troubleshooting

Socket does not fit the steering stem nut.

Verify the specific Honda model and year. While designed for many Honda series, some models may have unique nut sizes. Ensure you are attempting to use it on a compatible Honda motorcycle.

Socket slips on the nut.

Ensure the socket is fully seated onto the steering stem nut. Check that the teeth on the socket and the castellated nut are clean and free from obstructions. Using a breaker bar with a longer handle can provide more leverage, but apply force smoothly.

Socket shows signs of rust.

Although chrome-plated, prolonged exposure to moisture can cause rust. Clean the affected area with a mild abrasive pad and reapply a light coat of oil for protection. Store in a dry tool chest or cabinet.
