Rear Wheel ?

[alan]

I have a 94 KX5 rear wheel for sale and I know it only has 2 bearings and my 2001 has three bearings.

I was wondering if anyone knows if the only difference between the newer and older rear hubs is the spacer width and of course the third bearing?

Yep it will fit! Some one else ask first, however he is not sure, because it is a 2 bearing wheel. I will keep you posted!

Thanks Alan

I believe they all fit. However  the 97 and newer have the third bearing.

Yep, I know! The question was, can you cut down the spacer and put three bearings in the older ones with just two bearings?

I would say no.  From what I recall last time I changed bearing on my 92 there is not enough casting to support the bearing outer race. I could be wrong though. Cam.

You can do it, it's kinda of a bi**h to get set up, but once set up it doesn't take that long. I've got a copuple of hubs I've done it to.
