    EX500 Part Compatibility Question

    Quick question . . . are there any compatibility issues using a 2008 EX rear rim on a 1998 EX? Same goes for the front rim, compatible?

    No, everything since 94 is the same.

    Two other follow up questions . . . .

    1) Are there any service manuals, in electronic format (pdf), for both pre- and post- '94 EX floating around the net?

    2) Where to get (or how to make) the spacer needed to allow the flipping of a post-'94 17" front rim, so it can run on pre-'94 forks?

    Great place to start would be www.ex-500.com if you are looking for the manual.

    ex-500 is a good resource.

    but an even better place to start lookin for a manual would be http://www.cheapbastidracing.com/stu...ice_manual.pdf

    Send a PM to mynameisdaviid or somethin like that about the spacer, he made one or had one made.

    Thanks guys.

    Pete~ Very nice; thank you for the "link". I think I met you this weekend when I stopped by to say Hi to James after the MWSB race.

    Yeah, I had looked over at ex-500 for post- '94 service manuals, but couldn't find anything. I know there's one out there . . . somewhere . . . .
