Hi Guys,

My bike is a 1991 SR and it has a 19 rear wheel that's a bit egg shaped, so I want to fit a standard 18. I've purchased one that may have been from a slightly newer bike and the hub it too wide for my swing arm. Is this just because Its too new or is the SR swing arm narrower? I think I'm going to use my original hub, the new rim and get it re laced.

Just wondering if anybody knew for sure?

Thanks Alot

Which exact model do you have?

Which exact model did the wheel come from?

Are you sure that the 18" rim will work, even if you buy a new set of spokes?

What bike did the wheel come from? Did you try swapping the wheel spacers. All US spec KDX 200/220's from '89 up use the same axle and wheel spacer diameters. I know the SR is a somewhat different animal but I wouldn't think Kawasaki would use a unique swingarm on it.

Thanks for the replies guys, I'm starting to wonder if the wheel I got is for a KDX 125 as the axle would also need to be smaller... Its very hard to find parts in the UK for these bikes it seems.

I'm going to try find a hub and get a wheel built, or failing that get my hub made up onto an 18inch rim.
