Say I/we wanted to buy a second set of wheels for the Zed, would I need specific ones or would any 17's fit?
I'm pretty sure specific ones. Probably a range of Kawasaki bikes will fit but other wheels might need different sized bearings.
I've found you a nice cheap set... https://www.bikehps.com/acatalog/Kawasaki_Z1000_2010_Onwards_BST_Carbon_Fibre_Motorcycle_Wheels.html
I was just wondering because I know that on car wheels as long as its the same amount of holes for the nuts then it would fit OK (OK sometimes a little bit of fiddling around for some is required) I'm sure that its the same with bikes, with some slight modifications anything would fit. The VFR800 comment had got Lister thinking of making the zed unique.... Hahahaha. Thanks for the reply guys, guess I might need to look into the mechanics of it a bit more Sent from my Sony Xperia Z1 Compact via Tapatalk
I forget the technical term but the center hole then the disc and caliper stuff universal isn't universal Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk
if you change the arm then yes it will fit. piece of piss to get just about any wheel to fit, the only issue is disc pdc and offset, other than that all you might have to do is change bearings and spacers.
Jazz check out http://www.ozracing.co.uk/motorbike_wheels_var/OZ MOTORBIKE/34527/OZ MOTORBIKE/PIEGA/34539.aspx you would just ask for your rim size the fronts are pretty std. on the rear 17 inch you get a choice of rim width , this would determine your tyre width then id stay with the std rim width , gives you a decent 180 or 190 tyre size choice , if you go for the wider , o take a 200 for example ,it would handle completely different and might cause probs fitting within the swinging arm wheels are class as unsprung weight on a bike , and will require possible suspension set up due to less weight to rebound http://damon-ianson.hubpages.com/hub/Know-This-Motorcycles-Unsprung-weight-and-gyroscopic-mass NEW ALLOYS....YOU JAMMY FUCKER x
Yeah, a Panigale 1199 rear wheel fits beautifully in an Panigale 899. Well you would expect that with both bikes out the same stable wouldn't you.
To be fair that vast majority of wheels are interchangeable, the usual restrictions are the wheel bearings, spacers and brake disc diameter. All can be changed out by replacing the specific part, eg: one off spacers made at your local machine shop. The same principle applies to aftermarket wheels, they are all pretty much the same. You just have to buy the fitment kit which will include spacers, etc. You can do it if you want to
