Gsxr 1000 wheels

Post by wull »

Does anyone know for sure what years fit what years???? Fucks me off the vagueness online about it and all the conflicting bullshit that I hear. I’m sick of cross referencing part numbers especially when someone says yay or nay and it all contradicts each other.

Bike in question is a 2009 Gsxr 1000 and I’m looking at a set from the 2015 Gsxr 1000. The seller says they do, I want to be sure before purchasing.

So will a set from a 2015 bike fit the 2009 bike?

Thought K1/K2 fronts needed spacers on later bikes due to radial brakes? May be talking out of my hoop though, been a few years since I've owned a GSX-R.....

Maybe ask on the GSXR forum. They're quite helpful.

Which one? I’m on the Gixxer forum or whatever it’s called and they’re about as much use as a chocolate fire guard useless coonts!
