Were any 1125CR models built with the upgraded three bearing rear wheel? If so, is there a way to tell without removing the wheel from the bike? Or could it be determined through the VIN? | ||

Yes, all 2010 XB/1125 models had the new wheel. It is compatible with the older bikes if you get the correct new axle to go with the 2010 wheel. (Message edited by froggy on March 08, 2011) | ||

And at-a-glance, the new axle is black powdercoat instead of natural aluminum. | ||

Rat - I got one at home and me thinks anodized. - I'll double check if the thread lasts that long. JM (Message edited by Stirz007 on March 08, 2011) | ||

Is a new wheel required, or can I just buy the three bearing axle kit and be good to go? Edit: Nevermind. Answered my own question. (Message edited by daggar on March 08, 2011) | ||

Nuts4mc, you can have 2 bearing wheel with black seals. In fact, most of the 09s came from the factory with black seals. | ||
| Nuts4mc |
Oh the devil is in the details! - who would of thought to do that? must of been Willie G!.... so Kidder look for the black axle AND a black oil seal to make sure the bearings number 3...good luck! | ||

So, this is a plug and play kit? I can upgrade my 09 CR rear wheel with this kit? | ||

Yes - 2010 3-brng rear wheel is compatible with XB/1125, 2003+. The kit consists of the wheel, 3 bearings, spacer and dust caps. Axle is different for 1125 and XB. The Black-anodized axles can be used on 2 bearing wheels also, the old silver axles have been discontinued. Zack | ||

How much is the kit+wheel? I only saw the kit at Erik Buell Racing which is ~$80 if you already have the wheel. I'd like a part # on the wheel, if possible. I assume it's offered in a variety of colors. | ||
| Daggar |
I think the wheel is around $300. That's what's holding me back. And then I'd have to get a front wheel to match the color of the rear. | ||

$285 retail for a wheel before any Badweb discounts, plus you will need the bearings and axle kit and installation. All together going to run you about $350. The wheel is (or was) available in every color previously offered on a XB/1125. | ||

I fitted a 2010 rear wheel and axle kit to my 09 1125R recently, easy to install everything line up correctly | ||
