    Yamaha YZ80 / YZ85 Wheels

    Got a dirt bike kiddo with a Yamaha YZ80 or YZ85? I have a spare set of wheels. The front is a 17 incher, and the rear is a 14 incher. Yamaha made two wheel sizes for the YZ85, and these are the smaller ones. The rims are made-in-Japan D.I.Ds. The front is the factory 1.40 inch width, and the rear is the factory 1.60 inch width. The front wheel's condition is probably an 8.5 on a 10 scale, with the only issues being a few (very few) signs of normal use. I'd put the rear wheel at a 7 on a 10 scale because it has a few more signs of normal use (like more scuffs and scratches from tire spoons and whatnot), and it also has a very minor ding on one side of the rim near the rim lock (can you even see it in the picture?). It is minor enough that most people wouldn't notice it if it weren't pointed out, and it also does not affect the balance of the wheel at all. Other than the aforementioned ding in the rear rim, both wheels spin straight and are true, and neither rim has any cracks. Neither wheel has any broken, bent or missing spokes or rounded off nipples, and both front and rear hubs are in great shape with zero cracks or other issues. Both wheels come with brake rotors that are in near perfect shape and not scored or worn out. All bearings spin freely and all seals are in great shape. Both wheels have rim locks that are also in great shape. All you need to do to use these wheels on your Yamaha YZ80 or YZ85 is add tubes and tires and bolt them on. (Note: no wheel spacers are included with these wheels, nor is there a sprocket on the rear wheel or bolts and nuts for a sprocket.) These wheels were removed from a 2004 YZ85, but should fit any Yamaha YZ80 or YZ85 from 1990 through 2015. (I also hear that the front wheel will work on some year model Suzuki RM85s, but I don't know that to be fact. Use the WWW and see if that's true.) Replace your bent or broken wheels on your mini motocrosser, or have a spare set of wheels and tires ready to go for changing track conditions.

    $45 for the pair. I can deliver to any of the CMRA rounds.

    If by supermoto you mean 17", then no. They are stock MX wheels. You'll need 17 inch rims that are 2.5 and 3.5 inches in width (front / rear) and fatty Buchannen spokes. The hubs would work, though, provided you have a YZ or whatever else they will fit on.
