Hey! New forum member and dirt bike owner/rider.
I am considering purchasing a '98 Yamaha RT 180, but the owner says it needs a new rear wheel. My question is not entirely model-specific, but anything you know about this model that will help is greatly appreciated.
Can I replace the wheel with just any wheel of the same size (swapping the hubs, as I understand it, is required -- is that something I can easily do?), or do I need one that is specific to this model and/or year of bike?
The short version is that I got a TTR125 to ride while at my brother's place in Upstate, NY, and now I want to buy something for him to ride with me. However, I'm only in town for a week, and I arrive there a week from today. So, time is a bit of the essence for me in making a decision, having parts delivered, and doing the work (or having it done if it's more involved than I'm capable).
Thanks!
