Front wheel compatability?

gixxerniknik · Aug 1, 2011

Hiya Guys,
I've a standard 2005 RSV-R with radial calipers but not Ohlins forks, can anyone tell me what front wheels are compatible or what I'd have to do to make any fit?
Thanks,
Nik.

All wheels off 04- rsvr and factory, rsv4, 03 rsvr/edwards with radial callipers and 05- tuono are all direct fit. Any other wheels will fit with a 2.5 mm spacer behind the discs, ope that makes sense.

Thanks Guys, so the disc spacing on the later models is wider. Does this mean that the later model front wheel from the radial caliper models won't fit on my '02 at all. Just trying to see what my options are in trying to replace the bent front wheel on my '05 RSVR.

thats right unless you machine the calipers by 2.5mm each side at their mounting face

Jus' greedy I guess! My old '02 got nicked after two years and 20thou miles of ownership, so I had to have another as I loved it. Whilst looking I came across the '05 cheap so bought that to commute on (Eh?)
