Hope someone can help (quick) :lol:
I can finally get hold of a pair of red Marchisini wheels off an original S4 Senna for Denise's M900sie.
Problem is the axle size on the back wheel for the S4 is 22mm, the axle on the M900sie is nowhere near that.
Question is, can I just buy a different set of bearings for the Marchisini's so the inner diameter for the axle is smaller? :confused:

Has anyone done this mod before?
Any help greatly appreciated (asap please) as I haven't actually bought them yet but have to let the guy know tomorrow... :o

Bloody hell Stu long time no hear how the hell are you.
I've got S4 wheels on my M1000 on some S4's (not sure if its all)
there is a spacer.
The wheels I have came off an S4 with the smaller
spindles.
Otherwise getting and changing the bearings is a doddle.
getting the cush-drive out if you plan to powder coat the wheels
now thats another thing all together!!!!!!!!

Hiya Terry,
Thanks for the reply mate and good to hear from you (I thought you'd have forgotten me by now... :rolleyes: )
We're both doing fine, Denise is still loving her M900 and I still love the M750 which I took off the track and put back on the road. I also got (dare I say on here) an 888 which I also love!
Thanks for the advice on the wheels, shows it must be able to done. Strange you say the wheels you have came off an S4 with "smaller" spindles. The rear spindle for these Marchisini's wouldn't even go through the swingarm.
I think we'll get them anyway as I sure if you've got some on, that we'll get them to fit (somehow ;) )
Thanks again mate.
