Wheel options for dr650

[foxfire]

Anyone know what wheels (dr200,350...?) fit a late model dr650 with out significant mods? I read somewhere some fit with brake disk swap...but what years/models? Stock dr wheels seem hard to come by so trying to broaden the search.

[foxfire]

Really... nobody? Aren't some of you guys running a 18" dr350 wheel on your 650s?

Yes some use the 350 wheel.. I am using a KTM LC4 one with custom spacers in mine.

Do a search for "DR650 rear wheel swap" here and on ADVrider and you'll find plenty of answers.

DR250/350 18" two types cush and non cush both fit and both use different spacers. use stock spacers that come with each wheel.

So no options for the front then?

[bergman501]

no bolt on that i know about.

a '99-'02 SV650 front wheel apparently fits with little effort -- but not much good if your plans include anything but street riding.

I recently picked up a really nice used one for cheap, but I have yet to fit it on the bike. From what I understand, I just need to pull the right side brake rotor off the wheel (SV has dual discs), and the DR650 axle fits the SV650 wheel bearings (this I have verified), and not exactly sure what happens with the speedo drive gear.

The 2nd generation SV650 wheel (2003 and newer) looks very similar but the bearings are different, and the offset of the brake disc is apparently different so it would require some serious work to make it fit.

Yeah...I'm looking for a dirt set. Ive got 19"/17" Sun rim setup now.

I own a '99 dr350 also, so maybe Ill just have to give pull the wheels off and see whats there. Figured Id ask here first.
