how do you tell the difference between 05 R6 front rim an 06 R6S front rim?

 

[Paytheon]

I assume the rims are the same. The 05 forks are inverted.

 

[cashmoneyflo]

rotors arent different or anything?

 

[ZeeGay]

well i believe that the rotors are the same as 05(310mm) only for 03-04 are different for they are 298mm so yea

edit:never mind i just remember its 298mm for 06s......05 is the only unique and different one

 

[Paytheon]

The rotors are slightly different.

 

[cashmoneyflo]

is there anyway to tell just looking at the wheel from in the picture? trying to help some guy on another forum figure out what year rim he has, he's trying to sell it and doesnt know which year bike its for

 

[ZeeGay]

now thats a tough one, they all look the same, hopefully either or rotors from 05 or the other years will fit, I believe they will

 

[Blevins016]

If he doesnt know anything about it, Then I would like to know why, or even better, how he got it?? Anyone missing a wheel??

The rims are the same size. It's the rotors that will differ if they are still on the bike.

so then it would fit 03 - 05 R6 and 06 - 08 R6S?

 

[Paytheon]

Yup.

 

[cashmoneyflo]

cool. thanks

 

[Chango]

Yes, the wheel itself will actually fit any R6 since 03, including the 06+. The only difference is the rotors, which can be interchanged as well.

yeah but what about the spacer and bearing size?

 

[Paytheon]

yeah but what about the spacer and bearing size?

You set ones that are on your bike. They will work. The concept is to change the rim only.

 

[blue03r6]

yeah but the bearings are pressed in. you can't just pop them out.
I'm just asking etc.. not arguing. if someone has actually tried it, I wish they'd see this thread.

The axils are the same I believe, so the bearings should be OK.
