I would measure it in case your model is different to others.

Also, you should consider whether you can fit a socket on without removing the handlebars.  I think I've had to use a large flat ring spanner for this reason.

On my 98EV, the hex top is 36mm.  However, the 98 has adjustable damping and that might not be the case with your model.  Also, by visual inspection, I seriously doubt there is adequate room to fit the socket wall around the hex with the handlebar in place.  Take a chance and buy the 36.  Just be sure you can take it back and exchange it if you find your size is different.

BUMP

The Hex nut (Fork Cap nut) for a 2000 jackal non adjustable forks are 30mm. And yeas a socket does fit.
