Title: Has this dude got it wrong ?
Post by: Jay_wolf on October 14, 2007, 09:25:57 PM
He says its off a 96. its Straight Spoked , and he claims its a 4.5 inch rim , now ive been looking for one of these for ages!

isnt it from a 97 tho ? any ideas anyone because the Gsx Rear wheel is rare , and it just means i spent 25 pounds on a 150 tire , and got a free bandit wheel

:D Thanks

dunno for sure if its a 96 or 97 Katana rear wheel. I suppose the issue is that one year isnt useable?

Try asking over at maximum-suzuki.com since they have a katana specific forum there. They should be able to answer your question with authority.

Jay?
Dont pay silly money for wheel bearings, they are all the same. If you are stuck I can source them for next to nothing and I will post them down to you. Just let me know the size, it will be stamped or printed somewhere on the bearing and will be something like 6204 or 6304.

Hey dude , im having major trouble with the b6 wheel mod , what did u use as a inner spacer? its driving me mad at the moment
Any help would be much thanked , ive looked at our walk thro , and it doesnt mention the inner spacer ,how did u do it ?
thanks
Jay


oh sh*t, i forgot to mention that in the write up,
i got one made up the same lenth as the bandit one, but the same dimensions as the gs,
i learnt the hard way not to run with out the spacer  when the bearing collapsed
sorry i didnt put that in the write up..
ummm sh*t your best bet is to get a turner to make you one up, a guy did one for me for a fiver and took him 10 mins to do.


Thanks Sledge , i have a set of bearings that i got off ebay for like 2 pounds ,  its the iner spacer ,maybe im just well confused

if the bandit wheel is anything like the GSXR750 one... i think same

use the center spacer from the B6
all it does is keep  the bearings from being side loaded  it does not have to be the same ID as the GS axle OD

just check that it won't ride over the inner race of the bearings
