FZR front wheels

[Eddie Hitler]

Had to switch my front wheel. Bought an FZR400 front following advice.

The brakes fit perfectly, but the holes are too small for my spindle to fit through. Can I simply change the bearings, or do I have to send this back?

Left is the 400 wheel, right the 600.

Fit a new spindle?

If that won't work with your fork legs then you could try sourcing bearings by careful measurement of inside and outside diameters.

If the wheels are the same then you should be able to use FZR600 bearings in the 400 wheel. Have a look at the part number stamped on the wheel, it should be the same.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

f-36 is the 400. f-52 the 600, ffs. No good?

[Eddie Hitler]

Ill do that now, although I'm wary about the inside tunnel-bit being the same diameter as the current inner-bearing diameter. Apart from the bearings they are exactly the same.

[Eddie Hitler]

Phew, it is just the bearings. The inner shaft can be moved so I presume I can just swap those.

Why'd you change the wheel?

[Eddie Hitler]

Old front had a slight buckle .

Bearing wise, I need 2x 6201's, will any do? I noticed they all have slightly different letters after the number, and I can't find a match for the current ones I have. /dumb mode

Huzzah, I meant 6203. Crisis averted.

the letters that follow the bearing number tell you what type of seals the bearing has:
commonly rs for rubber shield, 2rs for two rubber shields, z for metal shield etc etc.
