180 on an SV
Can a wider rear wheel be fitted to the SV, from say a GSXR?
Is it a good idea? Ta!! |

Re: 180 on an SV
yes it can be done but theres a lot of work involved like machining the brake mount and wheel spacers, it is usual a gsxr 750 rear wheel that is used not sure which one though
also some people have sead that it make the sv handle worse |

Re: 180 on an SV
If you have an injected bike then a CBR600 1995-1998 model rear wheel fits in. You need to take a few mm from the spacer and then everything just fits in fine. You need the CBR sprocket carrier, sprocket and disc too. Whole lot can be had from ebay for £40-£80.
You can fit a GSXR rear wheel say from a 600K6 but you need to have the sprocket carrier hub machined down to get the sprocket carrier to line up correctly with the chain. Steve runs a 180 section rear on his race bike and it works very well and improves tyre wear on track as the load on the tyre on the edge is spread over a larger footprint. |

Turns in great in fact when i rode Steve's SV after riding my supersport bike the SV had me in the kerbs mid corner as it turned so quickly!. The bike does run a lengthened Ohlins and GSXR front end so quite different to a stock road bike geometry wise anyway. If your running a 180 on the 5" CBR rim for the road then you will more than likely find it will turn as quick if not a little easier to to the profile of how the tyre sits on the 5" rim. I ran a 190/55 on my supersport 600 bike for a while and it actually aided initial turn in as the rolling circumference of the tyre was taller than that on the 180/55 so it sat the bike up by a few more mm at the rear and gave a larger side footprint. |
