    I don't know on the xj650 however if you have an owners/service manual in most cases the specs should be listed in there.

    Huh?

    Its either 10mm or 12mm by 12 or 16 mm in length. If you have access to a generic hardware store like Ace Hardware or even Menards, they should have drawers and drawers of nuts, bolts, and washers. Twenty & some cents later, and you'll have a bolt that holds the fuel tank.
