Suzuki Burgman 400 front wheel removal?

Trying to remove my front tire but find that the Allen bolt is larger than my largest 10mm but smaller than the Suzuki tool kit has. Can anyone confirm that this a 12 mm Allen?

A related problem, the cap on the other side has been drilled, but no sign of extractor bit, what size is this?

Thank you for your help.

    Not much help here except that I've never seen an 11mm allen bolt on any motorcycle so a guess would say 12mm.

    Most Japanese bikes use even number sized nuts/bolts up to 14mm and only after that do they get odd numbered. My double guess (because don't know what 'cap' you're asking about) would also be a 12mm.

    Check youtube- it's a 12mm (there is a vid showing a front wheel change) YT is my first step on any project- better to learn from other's mistakes. Life is too short.

    perhaps maybe the machine was messed about with before you bought it,so try an imperial equilevent to 12mm instead.ie whitworth pluss others.
