Hey guys, I need to replace my completely worn out rear tire, AND my rear rim is bent. It's a 2006 GS500F. I ran across this on ebay : http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/REAR-WHEEL-RIM-TIRE-DISC-suzuki-GS-500-500E-GS500_W0QQitemZ300089470266QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item300089470266 . Anyone know 100% if it will be a direct replacement, or if it will not work at all, etc, etc ?
Direct replacement.
AlphaFire is right, its a direct swap but hold out for something cheaper. Most end up throwing theirs away when they go to a wider wheel. ask around here in the classifieds, you'll probably find someone that'll get rid of it real cheap. I just got a Katana rear for $49 on ebay.
to replacce the rear wheel all you need is the wheel and roter right?
Yeah, but it has to be a wheel that fill fit between your swingarm(s) and you might need spacers. Look for Katana 600 wheels or SV-650 wheels. maybe suzuki bandit wheels too?
I have a 2005 GS500 wheel that I'm willing to sell for $40 + shipping. It is in perfect shape both cosmetically and mechanically. The bearings are included as are the rotor bolts. The wheel has approximately 1,000 miles on it. PM me if you're interested.
-Turd.
I'd buy Turd's. He seems to take really good care of his stuff, plus I think the color of that one on ebay is a little different than yours. Looks like you'd just need to mount up your sprocket, rotor and either your old tire or a fresh one
