Yep, although you`ll have to use different bearings as the spindle is a different diameter.Kayla will be able to help with the bushes and such like.
I WAS going to do this myself but decided against it, still have a YZF750 rear wheel complete with new cush drive rubbers for sale actually. :wink:

This is a relatively easy mod.

If you look on here somewhere, you'll find a 'how-to' that I posted up when i did it.

It includes the measurements for how much to turn down the wheel spacers.

Brake disc will line up fine with the TRX caliper, may just need a small washer on the caliper bolts but thats all.

Also, need to make sure you have a sprocket with a dished/recessed side to it (like the standard one is) so you can flip it over to make the chain run straight.

and bearings for the smaller axle diamenter of the TRX

Dave.

:D As Trixy says, its not hard, everything lines up no problem, just remember to turn the sprocket around. You do have less choice getting replacement sprockets, but you can still get them.

:D Nope, you can shim the original out if you want, get bling anodised ones. but with the wider wheel, they wont line the chain up, needs the dished original turned around.

The biggest problem is the postage/carriage, I could let the wheel, sprocket carrier and cush drive rubbers go for 75 quid but I`m not sure how much the carriage would be from Scotland to where, Brighton wasn`t it?

Hi, Sorry to take a sideways step, but i've just fitted a yzf swing arm and wheel, should i have turned the sprocket around?

:? You need to check the sideways alignment of thr chain, it needs to be as straight as it can so that no undue force is put upon the links!

A good straight edge will help, just hold it square against the rear sprocket face and check to see if the chain follows the same `line`.
Alternatively a cheap `sunday market` laser pointer works well too.If it`s a steel bodied one a flat bar magnet will hold it against the rear sprocket face leaving your hands free. :wink:
Craft or modelling shops sell all kind of magnets.
