VFR vs RVF rear axle

Post by viper_biker »

Are there differences between both? I think I've an RVF wheel carrier. Are the splines on the RVF rear wheel axle bigger than the VFR and will the VFR sprocket carrier work on the carrier?

This is the piece I mean,

In the hub you'll see the gap,

Thw complete axle assembly is half the price for the RVF so there must be a difference, not sure what tho but i have a RVF axle in a 30 swingarm and it seems to work fine.

If you zoom in you might be able to compare the one you have with this one which is RVF

That RVF one looks like it has a fatter spline on it. It seems to have a step on it that gets bigger in size, unlike the VFR one. Is that still loose in the garage Tony?

If you could that'd be excellent. I'll measure the VFR one I have and see who's is bigger ;)

OK, so the VFR is about 80mm at the splines.
