125-200cc 18" rear wheel compatibility????

[dirt addict]

I've been looking alllllll over for an 18" rear for my 2013/14 cr. Can anyone tell me which wheels from which models will fit? As of now I believe the 250/300 rear will work? How about a 310 ? or 250 4t ?
I've been searching ebay with limited success....

I believe any 4 stroke 2002 and newer, and any 2 stroke 2008 and newer. The older 2 stroke wheels can work with a spacer behind the rear sprocket. I use the 18" rear wheel from my 2008 TXC250 on my 2009 CR125 and 2013 CR144 all the time.

That is how I remember it, someone will correct me if I am wrong.

Not saying dirt addict is wrong but I bought a set of late model 4 stroke wheels, not sure what model they came from but think they were from a 449 and the rear hub is around a sprockets width wider on the sprocket side, I just machined mine down to suit the 125 width.
Did this mod with a simple hand router, Made a jig up with a bit of mdf and and just run it around the hub adjusting the depth till it measured correctly, Only took about 5 passes and around a hour to complete the task start to finish, Finnish is identical as if it was done on a mill, Hope this helps your search

I've decided to play it safe . I found an Excel rim on ebay, and am ordering a set of spokes from bucchannan. I'm going to use my oem hub and have it built at a local shop.

Make sure the excel is for the newer huskys, there is a difference between the newer and older requiring different spokes.

someone on ECEA site had a husky wheel set for sale in the classified section.

Talking with Tasky's the 4-stroke sprocket face is just a smidgen wider, so you have to run the BRP chain guide. I picked up a spare wheel from a 2009 TXC I need to replace the spokes on so I can run it on my WR.

Here is what I have found over the years my 2006 ,2008 cr 125 have the same wheels as my 2006 and 2010 WR 250/300

a Te or TC 4 stroke rear wheels up to like 2010 is wider at the sprocket you can have that area milled down and the 4 stroke wheel will fit the 2 stroke but now it will not fit the 4 stroke any more All the front wheels are the same only the spacer differ between bikes dependes what forks you have. The wheel is the same just remember to also change the correct spacer
I have tried the 449 511rear wheels and could not make them fit the 2 stroke

The 2009 and newer 125's have the same rear wheel as the 4 strokes from 2002+.

I just went out to the garage and measured the sprocket flanges on some of the wheels I have out there...

2013 CR125 19" .620"
2011 CR125 19" .625"
2010 TC250 19" .600"
2009 WR125 18" .600"
2009 CR125 19" .600"
2008 TXC250 18" .610"
2008 TC450 19" .600"

This was just measuring the flange only with calipers through the spokes from the rotor side. Not the most accurate method and I would bet the small discrepancies are due to that. I wasn't about to pull the wheels off 4 bikes and the sprockets off 7 wheels for this little experiment though.

I think they are mistaken, it appears to me that the 2009 and newer 2 stroke wheels are identical to the 4 stroke wheels. The older 2 stroke wheels are about 3mm narrower.

Sweet. I was going to run it either way, but now I definitely won't worry about it.

Jake, only the 125 switched to the 4 stroke hub. The WR 250/300 continued to use the narrower hub to the end of the line. Remember the 125 got an updated chasis in 2009 hence the change, but the bigger 2 strokes never got the update they deserved. Also the 2007 and earlier 4 strokes used the same hub but had a different spoke package for a slightly different offset of the hub compared to the new chasis four strokes in 2008. All of this being said most of the stuff will cross it is just a matter if a person doesn't mind something being slightly off and wearing a bit funny.

Now for the important stuff..... lol jk. Jake I'd love to take one of those 19" 125 wheels off your hands....

 

[rancher1]

Marc, I have a slightly used rim and spoke set you would just need a hub.

I would be more than happy to trade you for an 18" wheel...

does anyone know the diameter of the spoke holes on an oem rim?
