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?

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.

You only need the hub really.
You can buy the rims off the shelf and spokes are spokes.

Phone number
Spoonm,
Yes, it is a UK telephone number - put 0044 (+44) in front of the whole number and drop the leading 0 of that number for calls from the US.

I had a similar question - I have a '94 XT600E with dual disk brakes and the crappy chrome plating on the wheels. I know that the same tire size works on both the Kawasaki KLR650 and Suzuki DR650 (and I thought the OEM Kawi's wheels were alloy). Has anyone tried fitting wheels from these models to their XT600Es?
