Bus did it. He'll post soon

They can be fitted, but you will have to do some machining and such things. It's not the easiest operation. The brake calipers need to be mounted in a different place, and you have to cut some spacers because the wheels sit differently on the axle.

Cool , I will wait.

My thinking was to use the std e brake discs in which case I may not have to mount an adapter...lets wait and hear what the Maestro has to say....

Fark , I like my DRZ

Me too. They're awesome. I just got a call from the post office. They have my leo vice X3 slip on

I think that you will have to move the calipers and discs. One of the biggest differences between the E and SM is that the SM has MASSIVE brake discs, and the wheels are much wider.

Ping Bus.

I just typed a lengthy response and when I pressed "post", my internet had a hiccup

Lost everything!!!

So, in short:

My wheels were custom made for an S/E, so no clear answer from me.

Anyways, im sure the stock SM's will be close to bolt-on.

And if not, can be sorted with custom spacers, etc...

Rear brake disc NOT interchangeable, SM is 240mm (from RMZ), E is 220mm dia.

Front, you can use the E disc, just wont have the awesome stopping power of larger disc.

Larger front disc requires relocator bracket that slots in between your caliper and fork-caliper mount. (Like a spacer). Moves the whole caliper backwards/outwards towards the motor. Makes a MASSIVE difference in stopping power.

The relocator/spacer is made by Motomaster or Braking, check online.... I think also Talon... Not sure...

Next issue... Most aftermarket front discs are 320mm dia. Stock SM front disc is only 310mm, so if getting a bracket for stock wheel, make sure it is for 310mm and NOT 320mm. Not sure if they do make it for 310mm even... Once again, Braking or Motomaster.

Also, you need smaller rear sprocket for SM wheels, with normal E/offroad gearing you riding a pogo stick, gearing too low/short. Its fun for an hour or so, but it gets tiring...

Also adviseable to use 2 different chains for the 2 setups.

Anything else, just pm me, or get my number from Captain J, and gimme a ring. (Before Sat night, will be out of SA for a month)

And just to wet your appetite a little...
