The cast G650GS wheels and the Husky Strada wheels are the same/identical. The ones I run came from GS's All the G650GS wheels are compatible with our bikes, spoked and cast. The later F650GS (singles) wheels are too.
Not quite. Speedo is measured at the rear tire and is a percentage change. 17" rear is less than 4% smaller than 18" so less than 4mph @ 100mph or less than 2 mph @ 50mph. Matt
Hey RapidDog. Mine is the 100% stock Strada set up. Came of a barely used bike. That means Metzeler Tourance Next tires in 110/80/19 and 140/80/17. Tire pressure Front (31.29 psi) Rear (28.45 psi) TERRA stock was 90/90/21 and either 140/80 17” or 140/80/18” Front (28.45 psi) Rear (35.56 psi) Matt
cool I think you mean 110/80/19 on the front though, eh? I've got a line on the 2007 F650GS wires, working on what tires I'd mount.
Ahh yes. 110/80/19. One nice thing about going to a cast wheel is that you now run radial tubeless which can offer some nice technology beyond tubed tires. Matt
...yeah shucks, sell me yours... I found a rear cast but can't seem to find a front. I really don't want to go with tubes...
Yes the spoke wheels off a 2007 F650GS will fit. That is the last year they called the 650 single a F650GS.
They also came in gloss black directly from BMW. I snapped this picture about a year ago at my local dealer. It's a G650GS.
You might want to do some real-world checking. For one, you are correct, the speed is measured at the rear tire. And regardless of wheel size, the O.D. of the rear Strada tire is a lot smaller than the O.D. of the rear Terra tire. Instead of calculating what engineers and scientists think my speedometer differences should be, I just looked at my GPS. I am 5 mph off at 60 mph. Your mileage may vary, but not by very much, since we both moved from the same exact set-up to the same exact set-up.
Your "real-world" numbers are only real world to your bike, your tire inflation, your overall tire wear and your GPS. Sometimes real-world is best and sometimes generic numbers are. Wondering if your GPS and Terra speedo readout are identical? If so that is pretty amazing because the factory speedo is usually off by a little. Also wondering if the speedos on the Stradas and 17" Terras are calibrated differently than the 18" Terra. EG - My 2001 Chevy has three different tire size speedo tables inside the ECU because it shipped with three different tire configs. Perhaps a scan tool could switch speedo calibrations. BMW must have done something to correct because I doubt it's legal to sell a vehicle with the 8-10% speedometer error your are reporting. Matt
