Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Original

unknown rim

(1/4) > >>

littlewing78:
I just discovered that the rim on my 01 KX 500 is not the right rim.  I am trying to figure out what this rim is supposed to go with.
There are no part numbers on the hub. The rim is a DID rim and the numbers on that give me no info.  Thanks for any help.

18 inch rim
17 mm axle
152mm center to center sprocket bolts 6 bolts total
125mm center to center rotor bolts  4 bolts total
160mm outside to outside from sprocket to rotor

Hmmm.
The last year of the 17mm axle for the KX500 was 1984 and that was a drum brake.
Can you post some detailed pics of the hub?
I have hundreds of hub photo's and a lot of detailed hub measurements to compare with.
You can check out the measurements I have posted here;

I think I have gone through every bike on your site.  The closest to what I have is on the early 80's KX250's.
I'll get some pics for you.

sandblaster:
Yeah the biggest trip up is that 17mm axle...
Do you know what the outside of bearing to outside of bearing measurement is?

littlewing78:
132mm ish.  Hard one to measure
