I believe it's 17mm I don't have one either so I took the bottom allen out and refilled with the forks
upside down. Still need to get one so I can play with the springs a bit. One of these days...

Superscoot,

  The manual is available for download on Yahoo.com Super 9 Group among other places
.  great manual minus some typos.  Like the note next to the picture from the manual above say
*
When holding the shock absorber tube, place a shop towel to protect it and do apply too much force .

Do apply too much force...lol. Sounds like how I work though.
