RF900 wheel size.

Does anyone know what size`s the wheels are on a `96 RF900 please? I don`t need the tyre size, but the actual wheel dimensions as a google search was fruitless. Thanks

Told you before Ghost, you need and R1!

The wheel size is part of the tyre spec, let me know the numbers on the tyre and the wheel size should be ascertainable.

I'll second that!

Hello again Loosehead! Like I said, nearly bought an R1, a couple of years ago, now I have just bought a `99 GSXR750. Stick with the old faithfull Suzuki : )

The tyre sizes are 120/70 zr 17 F 170/60 zr 17 R. I need a front wheel to replace the damaged one I have after the roundabout incident, and have found a pair of polished wheels on eBay and want to know if they fit.

The claim has gone through well, his insurance has accepted liability, (amazingly) and they have paid me �1200 for the RF with a buy back of �300, so I have �900 to streetfighter it with.
Also claimed back injuries, knee problems, new leathers, helmet, gloves etc. That should sort itself out in a few weeks. That`ll teach `em!

Thankyou

They are 17 inches, The ZR17 is the diameter. I had a 96 GIXER before the R1. I think now I'd go for the GSXR1000. I'm sticking with my 2000 R1 for now as I just spent �420 on it! Glad you got the result on the roundabout incident, bloody pitty they can't sentence these t055ers to road craft lessons. Did you use the approach I suggested? Car crash line etc? did they just cave in to liability once you digged your heels in?

Loosehead - No, he admitted liability straight away. Surprising really, but it was an obvious collision. Hopefully it doesn`t happen again.
