Anybody know what this rim is off of?

As I've grumbled about previously, I got a rim off Ebay that was listed as a FZR rim. Turns out it wasn't. It's gotta be a YZF wheel, but I'll be damned if I can figure out what year it's off of. The only "part number" I can find on it says 4JH and that's it. I've been looking at the parts fiche trying to match it up but no luck. Some of the late model YZF600s have the 4JH prefix on the fiche, but looking at the pictures the holes in the rim don't match up. Just want to figure out what year this is from so I can relist it on Ebay. Help!!

LOOKS LIKE A YZF750 http://exupbrotherhood1.com/phpbb2/view ... 22&start=0 IT COULD ALSO BE A FZR600 THEY CAME IN THAT COLOUR ASWELL AFTER 91.

It looks real close to the rear wheel on my 94 FZR 600(before I painted it black) .

The reason I didn't think it was for a FZR was because where the sprocket carrier fits in the pattern is different. They're more angled and not straight across "fins". Plus when I was looking at the fiche it looked like the 600 rims only had 3 rubbers that fit in.

Here's the pic of the rim and the carrier off my FZR.

That'd be 5 of your "fins" in the carrier and 6 in the wheel.

Other than that, I'm of no help.

looks identical to the yzf750 rear wheel i have sitting in my living room right now.

mine's a 94 but all yzf750 models are the same.

See this is where it get's tricky. Part of me thinks you guys are right on it being for a 750. But, the fiche gives a conflicting match. If you look at the image, it looks like there should be 5 dampers that fit in there (look at the hub spokes/fins). You know how on Yamaha's fiche they usually list the number of parts it would take to replace something? On the 750 page it says 6 dampers are needed, but it looks like you could only get 5 in there.

Going by the images, the closest match seems to be a YZF600. The hub looks the same, but the holes they show on the wheel spokes don't match up. The rim I have has one hole on each outer spoke. Doesn't have anything in the middle or close to the center. Also the 600's have the 4JH prefix. Here's the pic of the 600:

I guess I've got it narrowed down for the most part. The whole point of this is to give somewhat of an accurate description when I relist this on ebay. Don't want to be like the idiot I got it from and list it wrong. So if anybody needs a spare rim I got one for sale! lol

Just check the sizes of the axle...if it is 20mm then it will be a 600 the 750's had a bigger axle.

Where the rubber damper parts fit in the wheel, it looks exactly like mine. All I can say about that pars drawing is that it could be a error. Something about you driver dosent look right. Too big and only 5 fins.

Hope that helps.

ok, i just looked at the online parts fiche. the drawing that shows the rear wheel for the yzf750 is wrong. the cush drive has 6 dampers, exactly as your rear wheel requires and exactly as my stock yzf750 rear wheel requires. the parts LIST is correct in that it states 6 dampers are needed.

measure the axle diameter and you should know if it's for a late model 750 or 600.

Thanks for all the help guys. Surprising that Yammi got the fiche wrong. They're usually pretty damn accurate. Oh well, I don't think they're turning into the Haynes version of an online parts fiche quite yet

Got a feeling it's going to be a pain in the arse to unload this thing. If anybody needs a rim for cheap let me know!!! Either that or I'll make some sort of coffee table out of it.

you know what nate, a coffee table would be pretty cool. i have a spare rear wheel that i might do that exact same thing with.

Well you could buy mine and make a set of end tables out of 'em

I measured up the axle hole last night and it's 20mm...so guess that makes it a 600 rim.

guess what nate, i just saw a set of purple rims on a yzf600 that was completley stock.

so, that solves that mystery.

Did you ask him if he needs a spare? :laughing

Post by **Hooligan** » Wed Mar 15, 2006 11:14 pm

hahahaha, good one. his bike was pretty mint, so i don't think he is in the market.

i wonder if he needs a new end table?

Well that one company out in AZ started making furniture out of old airplanes. Maybe I'll start a new trend and get my own show on the Discovery Channel
