what wheels work?
 

My 92 XT 600 needs a front wheel. Finding one for a XT is next to impossible. What other models/years will work with no problems (ie. brake rotor, speedo sensor, wheel spacing, axle diameter). Thanks

Brad

PS: Theres a wheel with rotor and axle off a 86 XT600 on ebay. Will this work with the 92 forks?

wow, anyone? Is this a deserted forum?

Front tire
 

The 1990 service manual says the front tire size is 90/90-21 54s.

Have you asked your country's yamaha importer? They should be able to order anything.

You can go to HONDA PARTS - Classic Motorcycle Supplies - Search Parts and find out what the different tire parts cost, if you need a new rim and brake disk and all. If you dont have the parts catalogue, you can download it here Smokin` Lizard from the downloads section.

Well, you only really need the hub and correct spacers.

Spacers are easy to make or cheap from yamaha.

Then any builder can lace a rim to it.

So the spokes are the same just different hubs?

You only need the hub really.

You can buy the rims off the shelf and spokes are spokes.

Ok I'm going to ask a question here:
What is wrong with your present wheel ?
Can it be rebuilt ?

That's two questions .

wheels bent, plus its drum brakes

If its just bent then have it straightened.

if the rim is cracked or has folds, then you need a new one.

I think you could have it rebuilt with a new rim and spokes for less than £100

A '92 with a drum brake?
Take the path of least resistance and have the wheel rebuilt .
If you really must have a disc brake then things get complicated because you are going to need a master cylinder, lever and hose from another bike as well .
The best thing to do in that case would be to get a complete front end from a breaker's yard .

Ive allready got the caliper, master cylinder, lever, brake line, and forks. Everything I need. Whoever had it before me must of swapped the front end out to an older model. Ive called over a hundred junkyards nationwide and noone has a 90-95 XT600
