question about my suzuki

[miller86]

I own a suzuki rf600. Ive had the bike for almost 3 years now, and havnt ridden it yet. Pretty much all i need is a front rim, but they are sooooooo hard to find. i was just wondering if a GSXR or Katana front rim would fit it, or maybe a rf900 front rim? they are all the same size (3.5x17) but will they fit correctly?? im about to give up and sell the bike.

There's a very good chance any or all of those rims would work. You might need a different spacer or 2 from your bike or the donor, but it won't be that hard. Suzuki's of that era had a huge interchangeablity across models and years with a given model generation.

Pay close attention to brake rotor diameter and spacing just to be safe. Grab your old wheel and hit the wreckers. If you have no wheel at all right now, measure the space between the center of the calipers and pads as accurately as you can, as well as the diameter of the axle holes in the forks, both the clamp side and the threaded side.

Selling the bike over just this particular reason would be a shame, if you like the bike and want to keep it. If not, it will be a hellva lot easier to sell with a function front wheel, eh.

i tried bikebandit.com, but i would kill myself before paying $450 for a rim, haha. i paid $800 for the whole bike!!

i dont wanna sell it, its the best looking bike ive ever seen, and i hear it performs amazingly, but this rim is just sooooo hard to find.

i found one off of ebay (that was actually off a rf600) like 2 years ago, but it doesnt fit right. the center of the rim, where the speedometer cable goes, is different. i just found a rf-900 front rim on ebay, does anyone know if this will fit a rf600??

I Am parting out a 1995 Suzuki RF600. If you need a part that you do not see in any of my listings please contact me VIA ebay or call me at 845-494-2551 and I will be happy to get it for you.

ask him to list a front wheel with the disk brake and whatever else you need. but don't be all like 'oh please oh please!! i need it so bad!!!' Or he will jack up the price.

your front wheel looks like this right?

[miller86]

yup thats what my wheel looks like. i asked that guy about the rim, maybe he has one. but does anyone know about the rf900 rim fitting on my rf600? im sure someone on here knows, but they prolly wont read this

[Logitech105]

yes it will, the '94 and the '95. You might have to remove the spacer on the right side of the wheel if it doesn't fit.
I don't want to take any responsibility if it doesn't fit though, so buy it at your own risk. mmmkay?
