Not that simple, GSXR and SV disc mounting is pretty different, and the hubs may be (probably are) a different size as well as the bearings. IIRC GSXR wheel hubs are a little wider than SV. Don't actually take that as a fact, or even especially likely

Also, SV650s run the speedo off the front wheel and have a castellation to power the speedo drive which GSXR wheels lack.

Bearings aren't really an issue, as long as the bearings in the wheel are bigger than the SV's spindle- a captive spacer would sort that.

Assuming you have a 650, that GSXR SRAD wheel doesn't fit. If you've already bought it and it's dark grey, I might buy if off you though

You could work around all of the issues and make it fit but it'd cost more than an SV front wheel to do (custom disc carriers, maybe captive spacers or bearings, something to sort the speedo, probably some more spacers... Maybe more.

If it's a thou you have then GSXR750 Y-K2, GSXR1000K1-K4, and 600 (erm, I think K1 to K5?) are exactly the same. Later years may be.

I think the front wheel for the 650's even different from carbed to injected models... There's Bandit and allegedly GSXF wheels that fit some, but which ones I couldn't guess.
