hagahuwa Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Hey Community I am from Switzerland. Since 1986 i own a GSX-R 750 (GR75A). In 1986 when i bought this bike i let Change the rear wheel by my dealer ==> The rear wheel was this from the GSX-R 1100 (GU75C), this is the 4x18 rim "which can swap in without any modifications" (originally of the 750 was the 3.5x18 rim). I took this swap because i like to use a 160/60/18 Tyre ==> and this was a good idea untill now. Since 30 Years this rear wheel swap was not a Problem for the Government that inspect the street vehicle every 2 years - now after this many years suddenly the expert of the Government want have a PAPER that says that this Rear Rim of the GU74C is correct to use in the GR75A?! Can anybody help me with a PAPER that says that this rear rim swap 4x18 (GU74C - GSXR 1100, 1986) is ok to use in the GR75A (GSXR 750, 1986)??? I Need your Support! yours Jörg Quote Link to comment
robbo_64 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Think your best option if you want to keep it in there is to have a motor engineer inspect it and write you a report to say that it is safely engineered? Don't think anyone will have anything off the shelf that you can use. Quote Link to comment
Swiss Toni Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 (edited) Or get in touch with Suzuki? If this 'Type Approval' is a bi-annual thing, and you're happy to continue using the 1100 wheel, I'd buy and fit a 750 wheel, get it approved, then put your 1100 wheel back in when the TA guys have gone back into the woodwork!

Dezza Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Can you get a correct 750 wheel secondhand for when the bike has to have its test, and then swap back to the 1100 wheel until it needs to be tested again? This is the UK way of doing things, especially for loud exhausts - we have a 'MOT baffle', that goes in once a year. And hello. Quote Link to comment
Captain Chaos Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Hi and wilkommen. I'm with Swiss Toni (who is not Swiss by the way ), get a 750 wheel just for technical inspection purposes. Fifteen minutes of spannering every two years saves a lot of headf*ck. Only downside might be insurance issues in case of an accident. Quote Link to comment

canamant Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 A 160/60 is the wrong tyre for the 4 inch rim. 150/70 is correct. I also sem to remember that some of the last batches of 750 slabbies came with a 4 inch rim.. Long time ago so memory might be playing tricks. Quote Link to comment
