SV650 Rear Wheel on 1150

[Robert Corrie]

Sv650 has smaller diameter axle than 1150. Can I put 1150 wheel bearings in SV650 wheel, or use SV650 axle on 1150, or do I need to make custom parts to get this done?

I would fit 1150 bearings into the SV wheel, after of cause checking that the outside diameter is the same, it will be easier to use your stock axle than to modify the swingarm to fit the larger SV axle in.

Axle

The SV axle is smaller in diameter. Is it longer or shorter than the 1150 axle? I'm thinking whipping out a custom axle and brake mount might be the simpler way out.

I think you'll find the outer diameter of the 1150 bearing will be the same as the SV. Just use the 1150 bearings so you can use the 1150 axle. Rotor, caliper, caliper hanger, and sprocket will probably end up having to be early 90s GSXR stuff. The GSXR stuff shares the same axle diameter as the 1150.

Yup, Sv and 1150 bearings have the same od. Now I just need to figure out the spacing for chain and sprockets, and a new rear brake caliper.
