my future motard....

do you have to have spoked wheels to be able to race, or can they be any type?

Any type, you are unlikely to find wheels that will be a straight "bolt in" unless there is a wheel kit available for the model

hi - i got tom at wheel and spoke to do my blacj excel 19 and 17 combo for my street tracker. great work reasonably priced. top bloke too.

ken

I haven't dealt with him but I will be getting him to do a 17 one for my Pre82 race bike

[flash]

so how much would this cost all together do you think?, its starting to look like it might get too dear already

Since its a KTM, you might be able to get a bolt on kit from a local KTM dealer. Not really sure if they have one for the 300 but its worth a shot

Saw some motard wheels and discs master cylinder chain sprocket and brake hose on TM recently for a KTM525 price was $2500.

Spoked wheels are required for proper supermoto races (dirt and road sections) Street wheels (mags) can be used for road racing/kart track work.

I do not know of any cheap wheels though. I had my standard hubs laced up to the wider rims, was not cheap. I think you can buy new completely set up wheels for less now.

once again thanks...

i thnk i might just do road/track racing first (cheaper to find some second hand street wheels).
i have a chance to get some yamaha tzr250, wheels cheap, would they fit on the exc?

Anything will fit if you make it,but without modification no they wont,but if they are cheap enough it's probably worth grabbing them anyway depending on what size they are

[flash]

heres a pic of the bike, its a bit rough in some places by it goes like stink.
it looks like ill be getting some street mags for it seem their cheaper than the spoked

excuse the dirtyness i havnt fully cleaned it since the last ride

When looking for wheels at the wreckers you want something with the same or slightly smaller axles & the same or slightly narrower width, then get the hub turned out to accept the KTM size wheel bearings & add spacers. Check the chain line on the rear - this will be an issue cos on most streetbikes the sprocket is further outboard. Check the disc positions too. As Alaruba says, KTM have SM kits for most of their bikes, check the hardparts catalog. If you want a quick change these are the best option, or at least KTM hubs.
