    Got a 2011 TE449 which I'm looking to turn into a SuperMoto.
    What should I be aware of when looking for a set of wheels?
    - axle size
    - rim / tyre size
    - brake disc size

    Anything I've missed? First time converting to SM.. :excuseme:

    These are the wheels I was thinking of going for:

    I recently purchased some warp 9 wheels off a 2018 yamaha wr250, thinking I could swap the bearings out and make them work. Turns out its pretty hard to make wheels off other bikes work on these. Your front and rear axles are 25mm, so youll have to make sure the bearings in those wheels will match up.

    Thanks for the info! The axles are indeed 25mm. The brake discs seem to have the same screws so I could potentially use my old discs without any modifications to the caliper?
    The wheels come with a chain and sprocket, wonder how I can figure out if they will fit.. :confused:
