Hopefully this is an easy question for someone. What type and size of wrench is required for the "battery strap fixing" on a 2007 Speedmaster? No luck in search here, shop manual or owners manual. Obviously I also need to start building a better selection of tools. Thanks.

i thought the battery strap was held with a torx screw just above the battery - where is the fastener you're referring to?

It is the screw. Sorry, the manual calls it a "fixing". Just not sure if it takes a torx wrench or Allen wrench. If torx, what size? Thanks.

I relaced mine with a 4 mm hex-head that matches the rest of the fake air filter screws. One less tool to carry.

Now that is a smart idea - wish I had thought of that....
