Tried to remover the front sprocket cover as I'm cleaning and adjusting the chain, got the 2 upper allen bolts out no problem but the allen key in the lower one has rounded it off inside,
any tips on how to get it out also what size bolt/part number do I need to replace it? thanks.

You should get a 'just fit' easy-out in it to remove it.
You can fit another (non oem) bolt, cut down a longer one or look at Suzuki parts list for original replacement.

A slightly oversize torx bit, hammered gently into the ex hex, should get the screw out. I replaced mine with stainless ones from Kayfast. Forget what size, though, sorry.

Thanks. I'll try the oversized torx bit first, looks like this might be the oem part

Managed to get the bolt out with the torx bit, all cleaned up now and adjusted the chain,
makes me think though that there is alot to be said for shaft drive

I think there is more to be said for making fasteners out of steel rather than cheese. That and removing the cheese fasteners as soon as possible and replacing with decent stuff with a coating of suitable anti-seize compound.

Yeah, but no, but a new bike is like a new lover. All exiting and full of promise until a few times round the block and the upkeep bills pile up.
