kx 500 wheel swap

[belcher69]

Hi I have a 91 500 and wanted to know what other wheels fit her

[sandblaster]

89-04 kx500
89-02 kx250
If you can find one, look for a 97 or newer as they have the 3 bearing design.
You can also use any KX450f rear wheel but you will need adapters to make it work.
You can ask Alward25 for adapters.

and a custom rear brake rotor but the 450 rear is the only one that will work, the front will not.

Front, nope, rear, yes with custom spacers and custom rear brake rotor, available from Warp 9.

why rear and not front?

[alward25]

Front axle set up is different and hub is narrower on the 450 and 250F
