18 inch rear wheel instead of 19 inch

Post by KdxNsw »

I have an 89 200 sr which came with a 19 inch rear which is in bad shape. I got an 18 inch rear of an 89 enduro model. Any reason why I can’t put it on?

It should likely fit if they were both the same KDX platform. Spacer changes may be required, but likely can be made to work fairly easily.

I am going to give it a go. So far all of the measurements line up.
