Hi All, Does anyone know if the 1098/1198 rear wheel will fit my 998? The wheel is a 17"x6" with a bigger hole in the middle and my original is a 17"x5.5". If it does fit can I use my new tyre a:190/17? Or just have to get a new one? Also while I'm at it will the handling change? And if so in what way????? Cheers me dears.
1098/1198 wheel won't fit. 190 fits a 6" rim really well, but they're few and far between for the 916/998's.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, just a shame as I love the seven spoke wheel off the 1098/1198. Just not to be thanks again.
I have some RS/AMA swing-arms MAGNESIUM, New, Painted, better made longer, made in USA, better made and sealed, (important) for road use, also have a Imola Aluminium factory arm from a F02, use the corse magnesium eccentric and RS axle, I think can be done but not a hundred percent sure the wheel interface/ axle, drive peg pitch circle is the same as 998RS or F02 parts and 1098 but suspect the same Would sell the AMA swing arm, but you need exccentric and axle to fit the large axle Corse type wheel sprocket drive flange has larger spline as well
Big axle 5/10 spoke race magnesium wheels are largely 16.5" but 17" wheel made for road bikes were sold through DP, along with magnesium swing arms, big axle magnesium eccentrics and, sprocket drive flanges with bigger splines to suit the DP/Corse big axles The AMA swing arm are better cast, finished, sealed and painted than the euro made arms and seem like more corrosion resistant, (magnesium) The race arms are a little bit longer, and look like the dimensions of the parts fitted to single side swing-arm models after the 999 when the axle sizes increased after the 998 road bikes; look to be the same size as 998RS and F race parts
Wow. Mind blowing I now know what I need to do so thanks for your wealth of information. However it looks like what I thought may be a tricky job will turn into an expensive one as I have seen the price of the magnesium swinging arms(the price of a small/older bike).So thank you but as I have a joint bank account I don't think it will go down well with er In doors. Time me thinks to open a single account and start saving. Cheers jez.
You may be able to put the 1098 axle (entire eccentric assembly) into the 998 swingarm as an alternative. Not sure if the assembly is the same size or not though, so you'd want to check that first! As already said, the 848 uses the same axle as the 998, as does the old Multistrada (1000/1100) and also the Hypermotard 1100 and some of the single-sided Monsters (S2R/S4R/etc). You might find a wheel you like in that lot.
1098 eccentric wont fit in a 998 arm 1098 spindle wont fit in a 998 eccentric. Even with bearing change You cant turn down on a lathe, a 1098 eccentric to fit a 998 swingarm
Thinking? thinking?>> you are right, I am full of sh.. I will find the other parts and include them with the kit, if you PM me I do you the deal of the century? need axle, disk?, sprocket flange, and excentric, axle nuts I put big rear axles into my 998R?? no I actually put small DP axles into big eccentrics into Corse mag arms sold so people buying marchesini swing arms could use road wheels
AMA Swing-arm, notice the casting precision, and the paint, water-proof? (wont corrode like some i have seen marchensini) think 1098 axle might fit the 998 Corse swing arm and the 848 the 998 standard swing arm, the arm above is the same as a 998RS so got big eccentric for big axle
I remember making a sleeve for a 998 eccentric to fit it in a corse mag arm. They could use std 998 axle/stud pattern with a wider road 998 mag wheel. It was for crankers bike. There is a build thread on here somewhere
