Will a rear wheel from a 2001 kx250 fit a 2003 kx500? Also what about a 97 kx250 wheel, will it fit?
-
To go along with the rear wheel question, How about a thread on what parts will fit the KX 500 off other years and models. This is especially important to those of us who lack both factory and spousal support. I think I just made up a new word. :roll:

The '97 will fit. I'm pretty sure that 2000 is the last year of inter-changeability due to axles...I think.

Excellent idea...
I have a 250 18" rim that I purchased on ebay. Haven't tried it yet but it looks the same. My 5oo is a 94 and I believe this rim is a 92 or 93.
How did the axle change???
-
The front axle got bigger in the mid 90's,never heard of the rear changing though.
-
Yes the front axle did change. I bought a set of forks for a 92-93 (blue anodized) and they didn't fit. I wanted a simple fix and got involved in a mess. I wound up switching lowers out of the old shocks into the new ones. It worked but was a lot tougher.

Team Kawasaki had some shims/collars they had made to run the old wheels on the new forks at one time,untill they got rid of there old spares.
