    Looking to buy an 18" rear wheel for my 06 TE510 and found an 18" rear wheel off a CR125. PM'ing with the seller and the difference is in the hub part number.

    '08 - '09 TE510 Hub part no. is 8A00-96937 and a 2.15 x 18 rim.

    WR125 Hub part no. is 8000-96937 and a 2.15 x 18 rim.

    Does anyone know what the difference in the hub part numbers changes on the hubs and/or if this wheel will work on the 06 TE510?

    Thanks

    The sprocket offset is different between 2 and 4 strokes. Your chain will not run true with the wrong hub.

    It's true. I tried to put my 2007 TE 250 rear wheel onto my 2008 CR 125, and it was a no-go--heavy rubbing of the chain and sprocket on the chain guide.

    I have to check but I think the 09 and up that got he linkage change will swap out. I know the "meat" on the hub around the sprocket flange is bigger though

    Thanks for the replies guys.

    Looks like the difference in the hubs is the sprocket offset.

    After looking into it I realized that if I were to buy all the parts to make the 19" wheel with the 4 stroke hub, that I already have, an 18" wheel new I would be out around $500. Instead I'm going to wind up learning how to tear down and then build a wheel and in the process get the 18" rear wheel I wanted for the cost of the used 18" wheel.
