Will wheels from earlier F4s fit on newer(2012) F4?

[Donsy]

Yes, depending on which wheels you are reffering too, you might need the axle spacers for some at the front. The rear is the same on all.

All pre 2010 bikes used larger front wheel bearings. The early F4 750 and 1000S as the Brutale 750, 910.., basically all with Showa forks, had larger spindles which fitted to the larger wheel bearings. Starting with the R or 312R models MV used a 25mm spindle and bridged the gap to the larger bearings with spacers. The 2010+ bikes have wheels with 25mm bearings which fit directly to the spindle. If You go for the earlier Star wheels, Brembo / Marchesini forged or ultra light forged in Magnesium or Aluminum, all can be fit to Your 2010+ with the spindle and spacers of the 312R, for an example.
As Donsy said the rear wheels fit on everything build by MV in between 1998 and 2013 without any trouble.

Love your work Ralph, I was hoping you would jump on it. You just have a way with words and those front wheels.......

Thanks guys for the info. I am considering going to forged wheels to replace the cast ones on my 2012 F4R. Lusting after some BST carbons but budget not there at present. MV forum is the best.

all MV front wheels '99-'09 use a 6907-2RS....35 X 55 X 9 bearing

when they went to the RAC 50 forks the axle got smaller, but the wheels used the same bearings with a spacer

'10+ they're using the RAC 50s with the small axle, i don't know the bearing size...but i'm betting its the same

i have parts books for the <'10 bikes nothing later

my '05 F4 has radial bottoms on the Marzocchis for 310mm discs with the big axle and no spacers

Is it possible to put a larger rear wheel from a F4 to a F3?
6" instead of 5,5"

Ok, marchesini forged front wheel to fit on the 2012 F4r. Anyone have the spacers/axle I need laying around?

[CAG]

Probably.
