Moderator YamaHead Posted January 23, 2006 Moderator Share Posted January 23, 2006 Ahhh....the age old Interchangability between RD's & XS's continues ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDYROSE Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Yamaha were very good (probably still are!) at using parts from one bike on another, but giving them different part numbers (which is what Scott is referring to). Sometimes even the price is different! Any way, the forks from the XS models were shared with RD's to some extent and a popular mod on RD's is to fit the forks from an XS (650 I think?) to provide twin disks. So that shouldn't be a problem for you to worry about. What you do need to be careful of is the point Mervin made about the diameter. Earlier RD's had 34mm diameter stantions, but the later E models were changed to 35mm. Obviously you cannot fit 35mm stantions into the yokes and legs of an earler bike 'cause they are too big, you would then have to swap the whole front although that isn't a major undertaking. I suppose it would be sensible to check that your existing forks are the standard 34mm and haven't been changed at some point . Hope that helps.

Sometimes the part numbers are the same as well Andy. the ignition keyswitch for my RD is the EXACT same part as the one they used on XJ550 Seca's...(I checked ) Also found that the headlight relay is the very same part as one used on the XS1100..... So if you really do your homework with cross-referencing, it can really open up more options when trying to source parts for various mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDYROSE Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 It's all worth knowing, eh Scott? Probably save a few quid (bucks ) as well Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
