Who knows which swingarm is being used on my TRX?

Post by Sly » Sat Nov 24, 2012 10:39 pm

Hey,

I recently bought a TRX from 1996, with a 190 rear tyre on it. I am planning to rebuild it a little bit. It has an upgraded swingarm, but the former owner did not know from which alternative bike it came. It does not look like a YZF 750 or Thunderace swing arm.

Who has experience in this and knows which swingarm is normally being used for a 190 rear tyre?

if your wheel has a [17xmt 5.50 dot] number on the left of the wheel- spoke closest to the valve...it will be a yzf 750..- five and a half inch rim wide capable of having a 190 hoop....look to see if you have that..otherwise, you have a standard trx five inch rim fitted with a car tyre...you should have a 160 tyre.

Thank you all!

I thought a 190 would not fit in a standard swingarm, but checking the swingarm it indeed looks quite like a standard swingarm, haha!
