rear wheel, from a cbr?
The guy I bought my bike from told me the rear wheel is off a CBR 600 and it currently has a 180 michelin pilot on it. Anyone got any ideas as to why he might have done this? sprockets are not factory though I haven't counted the teeth at this point nor do I know how many were factory to know what kind of difference I am looking at. Maybe more sprocket sizes available for the cbr rim or something like that?

If I had to guess I'd say it's a 900RR wheel. Those are the only ones I know of that are direct bolt-ons for the VTR. The F4/F4i's are not. I use a 900RR wheel when my stock wheels are off getting new tires put on them, which seems like once a year. Oh yeah, it IS about once a year.

I have a 98 CBR900 rear and it's a bolt on but it's a five spoke. My kid is running the rear from the set of VTR wheels I got here from Hawxter on his CBRf4 right now. Jerked the sprocket housing and cush drive out of his CBR600 wheel and dropped them into the VTR wheel and reassembled. Everything worked, spacers lined up, fit fine. We compared the cush drives and the CBR600 was lighter than the 900rr wheel or the Superhawk wheel but they were ALL the same size.

Can't remember for sure, i believe he said it was from an F2 and it looks very similar to the rear off my old f2 though different in color. I will email him to find out just was wondering if there was some kind of plus side to the switch or if he had probably done it for other reasons...ie tweaked it hard and had to replace and finding a used one off of something was the cheapest method or what
