If I buy a used full rear wheel assembly for an 04 model off ebay...

losmurfs · March 6th, 2012, 06:47 PM

Will a full rear wheel assembly for an '04 fit unmodified on an '03? I see that on eBay I can get a used full rear wheel including tire with good tread for around $80, but a new tire usually runs around $120, so to save time and money I just want to buy a complete rear wheel, will that work? Because it comes with the sprocket and the disc brake already on the rim, only the axle and bushings/spacers have to be interchangeable, right?, are they?

Thanks in advance.

Will a 41073-1366-15E fit on a EX250-F17?

Identical. While you have it apart, swap on the least worn rear sprocket and rotor, and shim the cush drive with some cut pieces of milk jug plastic to reduce drivetrain lash.

I hope you're right 'cause I just spent $94.48 (that includes shipping) for an '04 rim that hopefully will arrive this Friday.

The bike didn't notably change from 1988 through 2007. Yes, that's a very long time. The only parts I know that can't be used between any bike in that range are the CDI and associated wiring harness (pinout changed or something)
