Well, some projects just want to fight you... this is the case with the S2T I’m working on. I pulled the front wheel to change tires and check bearings. Well, the left bearing is loose and spinning in the hub. I also noticed that it doesn’t look like the previous owner installed the spacer into the speedo unit (at least the manual shows one). So... what rims will fit the front - all tubers?

Take to metal shop have welded and turned to spec or turned and over sized bearings. |

To answer question asked, later wheels are interchangeable...but grey marchesinis are not common... |

I’ve got a set of PMs for an S2 I’d let go. 2014 dated shinko tired with good tread. I tried to remove the front rotor, two bolt heads stripped. I planned on taking the dremel and getting them out. I put white marchesinis on mine.

Will - I appreciate the offer, but I have my hands full with projects on this bike, I’d rather find something plug and play. I also have a lead on a set of rims from a M2 Follow up question - for rims from a non S2, let’s say an M2, would the rotors work with my S2’s calipers? Thanks! |

No prob. Later nissin rotors work fine with the pm calipers. |

What about the rear rotor? Will the slotted rear rotor work with the Brembo caliper? Thanks for all of the help! |

Kc - I appreciate it, but I already snagged a pair of wheels off of a M2 locally. They had the rotors and drive sprocket and all. Still working on the spacer issue. |

Don't toss the original wheel. It's fixable, and rare. |

Hootowl - don’t worry, I have no plans on pitching the original wheels. |
