Joe,

I have seen many people using XB wheels on the 1125. Don't think there's a difference other than drive-side. I think the bearings are the same too. Don't know for sure though. hope someone else posts up. --Kevin

Up to 2010 the wheels are the same. In 2010 the bearing design changed so you would need a new axle to make that one work.

I just ordered a pulley for my spare XB wheels. I think that's all that's required (and new pulley mounting screws).

Part should be here tomorrow.

Rear wheels are identical I have a set of wheels which are used for either the Firebolt or the 1125R, with the caution that the rear disc needs to be from an 1125R to have the holes to access the rear caliper bolts and that the rear wheel rotates in the opposite direction Firebolt to 1125R.
Front wheels are identical in all respects

I've heard you don't have to remove the rear caliper to get the rear wheel off. Is that true? I have a wave rotor on the rear of my spare set of wheels, and it looks like I will be able to get the bolts out, but I don't know yet.

Yea, you can pull the rear wheel without removing the caliper. It's a bit of an excercise is wedging the rotor, caliper and pulley just right, but it can be done.

I put painter's tape on the backside of the caliper to help protect the wheel and then work slowly and carefully. I find it's best to lift the rear wheel relatively high, twist it, then lower it slowly adding twist angle. She usually comes out OK.

It's definitely a "knack" kind of thing. The service manual calls for removal for a reason!

Good advice Jdugger.

Sometimes its easier to remove a couple of screws than futz with trying to do it another way.

Chad,

Pulling the rear caliper is a pain in the ass. I'm really glad a couple of others here convinced me it was possible to pull the wheel without pulling the caliper.

Like I said, it's a "knack" thing, but once you got it.. F pulling that caliper every time I say!

much easier to remove the rear caliper from the swingarm than mess around in my opinion, dead simple to do so why faff around

There is a black one on ebay ending tomorrow. I'd rather have black because I picked up a black front. So if I don't win the black one on ebay and you still have this one, I'll buy it. I live in Kenosha and bought my bike from Uke's so could probably pick it up.
