hugson2wheels Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Heya gang... I recently bent my rear wheel only on one side from a pothole during a medium speed turn. I'm not loosing any air and I was able to repair it with a mallet. Two questions please... I'm thinking of replacing the rim but I would like to replace it with a different color (red). Does anyone make wheels for the FZ-07? Or does any other model yamaha wheel fit on the FZ-07 (as in, being able to swap the sprocket and brake disk onto another yamaha's rim) Secondly. Should I just keep the original rim I repaired? I was able to get it back to 90% and never lost air. Thanks! If god created us in his image, does that mean god is an egomaniac as well?

Premium Member avanti Posted July 6, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted July 6, 2017 I have no idea what might or might not interchange, sorry. But, don't use a repaired aluminum wheel. TOOOO important to leave to the luck of the bend/rebend/failure spirits! I suspect you can probably find a used original online if you don't wish to splurge for a new (my recommendation--new, that is). If you want a different color, have one painted or powder-coated to suit. All the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stickshift Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I reckon the fz09 wheels are the same, at least they look identical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r1limited Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 The material on these rims are soft, no diff between FZ09 or FZ07 same crappy soft material.

Not any options but OEM for FZThat would be called aluminum, lol. But seriously, I just changed the tires on my FZ07 wheels and they actually felt quite rigid as I was prying quite hard on the wheels with the tire irons to get the tires off and then the new ones on.

hugson2wheels Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 Does anyone have any links or info on aftermarket wheels that would fit our bike? I'm open to any kind of material be it magnesium or carbon fiber or aluminum Thanks If god created us in his image, does that mean god is an egomaniac as well?

I use a hack saw and then a 20 lb rubber mallet and soak the tire in oil to beat them suckers on. Its worser trying to put a 16in tire on that 17 inc rim, you have to use a acetiline tourch to get the wheel to bend into shape (rofl) “Laws that forbid the carrying of arms disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.” --Thomas Jefferson quoting Cesare Beccaria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REALLY? \\I was under the impression that spoked wheels have more tolerance (can stand more banging) and that's why real off road bikes use them. On top of that they just look awesome.
