ZX6R wheel Bearings & axle

[bcthomas]

Got the micrometer out today and confirmed it. The zx6r wheel bearings fit right into the stock xs wheel. Just need to fill the gap in wheel width with some spacers and I'll be running my spoked 19" on a 25mm hollow axle....easy.

pics to come this weekend.

The new bearings aren't quite as deep as the stock ones so I made some spacers out misc. washers but they fit right in and spin sooooo smooth. I can't believe how gummy and stiff the old ones are.

Did you use the zx6r spacer tube?

Did you use the zx6r spacer tube?

Yep...just cut it down a bit....much lighter.

What do you have for a front end that takes the 25mm axle? A ZX6R front end?

Good to know. I have zx636 forks on mine, and am just looking for wheels.
