Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Original

Team green wheel

Motorrad:
okay just walked out back to look at my 87..     same hub...      so they ran a earlyer hub on mine (explains the 2 differant wheel spacers now).....         But why the extra machine work?!   all I can tell is it would be for looks...

sandblaster:
Well, that explains that mystery :-)
The 86-88 KX125 KX250 KX500 used a hub that was embossed with: R-1158 ?
86-87 were black, in 88 they went grey.
They all used 20MM axle.
Measuring from the outside of the bearings to the outside of the bearings is 144-145MM
That is 14-15mm Wider then the 89 and up hubs...
If you had said that first it would have saved me from looking through my junk piles....
  :-D

A-men!!....I would love for my backyard to look like that! :-)

sandblaster:
Yeah, what I meant was the original 86-88 KX's were embossed.
We know that your factory team greenie weren't.

Those aren't my junk piles  :-D
If those were my junk piles I would get them out of the weather, disassemble, clean, inspect, weigh, measure, photograph, price, and sell them all!!!!
With all the EPA regulations, those junk piles are becoming a thing of the past..
