Title: Rear Wheel Swap
Post by: wm_Reed on July 05, 2014, 08:08:54 PM

Completed the rear wheel swap to the YZF600 today. Couldn't be happier. Bike turns much quicker. Also did the RPM Fork Valves this weekend. Handling is much different than the stock bike I was riding three days ago. The files on this forum really made it easy to complete both of the modifications. Thanks all who did this modification in the past and wrote about it here!

Cheers

Bill

Good for you Bill.
The YZF600 is a 5" wide rim....Are you running the 170/60-17 tire? What brand?

We have Jon Cain to thank for that mod, he's a smart fella.

You are correct that the wheel is the 5" width. I mounted Bridgestone T30 170/60/17 on the rear and a 120/70/17 on the front.
