Title: spare rim
Post by: crusty on December 04, 2007, 08:11:17 AM

Anyone know if a 93 kx 250 rim and hub will fit the 97 500? :evil: :evil: :evil:

Did a bunch of research on rim compatibility this past week.

Years 90-01 KX250 and 500 will work. However in 97 the rear hub got an extra bearing on the sprocket side for better durabilty.

Use your year KX500 axle and spacers.

I think they just redesigned the hub. It is likely the spacers will work but use yours to be sure.
