im sure this topic is well beaten into the earth but maybe somone can point me in the right direction. i purchased a rear wheel off a gsxr two years ago and never isntalled it. no i cannot for the life of me remember if i got the right year bike. little concenred now. :unknown: what year wheel works and how can i tell if i have the right one? going on an 86 fj by the way.
(http://www.fjowners.com/index.php?action-gallery;sa=view;id=7412)You can make darn near anything work. By making your own spacers. I ordered what they said were 1100 wheels and both times (2 different breakers) received 600 wheels . Totally different wheels. I had to figure out the spacers. And had them turned. The 600 wheels are a little lighter. And have n torque arm for the brake caliper. So ended up being cooler. But was pain figuring out what I had. The first one was supposedly a complete set up off of one bike. But had internal spacer from an 1100 and the rest was the 600. I figured out it was a 600 because the sprocket on the 600 only has 5 bolts. Then I figured out the internal spacer was too short because it was For the 1100.
If you zoom in you can see how clean the 600 setup looks. Without the torque arm
looks good! yeah i mean my biggest concern is making sure i get the right sprocket. wish i took notes about the bike i got it off of. if i remeber right the bike was purple and the wheels were yellow/aluminum.
5 or 6 holes 6 holes for 750-1100 5 for 600. A lot of sprocket companies will list the hole paterns an dimensions.

Went through that myself. Go to the JT sprockets website. There's lots of diagrams with dimensions that should clear up the mystery
I found this last week trying to figure out the same as you, but for the bearings. It may or may not help

edit. holy crap that picture is huge. Sorry. was a screen shot.

that will help. funny one website i looked at said the 80s gsxr used a different sprocket then the 90s. but the diagrams say otherwise.
welp apparently i have a rear wheel of a 97-98 gsxr 750. axle diameter is a lot larger then the fj..... guess ill be looking for the right wheel. :Facepalm:

a.graham,
Your call, of course, but I think the right bearing guys could match the outer diameter of the gsxr bearing,
and the axle size of the FJ, in one bearing. These things are always industry standard sizes. I would not be
too surprised to find that the bearings you need are in the wheel that you need, and those bearings
may fit the wheel that you have.
Otherwise, yeah, give Google a shot at finding exactly the right wheel for you, nationwide, and verify that the seller has the correct axle size on hand, before they ship the wheel. A dial caliper will be a big help for that, at your end.

i did look at bearings but couldnt find any with a 20mm inside diameter and a 60mm outside diameter. i did however find a 93 gsxr 1100 on ebay for little money. what years SHOULD work?

Another wheel that can be used is the 1994-1997 Suzuki RF900. The wheel part number is exactly the same as a 1998 GSX-R1100. This is an example of a 1997/1998 RF900/GSX-R1100 wheel.

so I opted to purchase a different wheel. I found a straight and clean bandit1200 wheel for 70 on eBay. after purchasing a caliper, brake stay, axle and spacers, cuz I drive, rotor, rotor bolts and caliper bracket off eBay, it came to under $200 which seems to be cheaper then most gsxr wheels to begin with.
just need to get the washers, new chain and sprockets, brake stay bracket welded to swing arm and banjo bolts for the bandit brake hose.
Looks interesting....are you going to need an offset counter shaft sprocket to get the chain in alignment?
