mine runs 18 rear 21 front and i have to swap the discs over as i have yet to buy a second set of discs, also different length side stands and as you run a digi speedo so just recalibrate to suit new dia wheels.
finding wheels to fit straight on would be the hard part,i would look into xt wheels as hubs i think are the same,maybe different bearings though :?

Thanks Rodge... i have to get down there and take some measurements... they have loads of wheels there some complete with tyres.. and pretty cheap too.... i have always wanted to get a set of winter wheels... enduro type....

so the size you referred too is the standard enduro version size..?

18 rear 21 front.. what about width of the tyre... any ideas... or width of the rim..??

from what i can see these are the standard enduro sizes

Front tyre dimensions: 90/90-21
Rear tyre dimensions: 120/80-18

now i note that some of the newer adventure style bikes are running a 17 inch rear... so essentially i would be looking for a 21 inch front wheel with the disk... i will have not too much problem with the speedo as my bike speed accepts two bikes so just a matter of programming the 21 inch circumfrance in to the speedo an dflipping the switch....

then on to the rear.........!!!!! what to get..

i sure all these moto x bikes must run similar wheels / rims.. anyone else care to help on this with more moto x experience...

i would prefer to get a set of winter wheels... and a set of summer ones.. which are my supermoto.. ones...

this is why i want to do this as the enduro wheels condition is not that important....

i really hope i can sort this out this year as want to have more use out of the baghira this year...

plaese help and advise.. i dont want to be messing with getting spacers made for wheels just a set i can bolt on... preferably off a moto x bike..
