What year model rear wheels fit a 2014 EC300?

[CombatYoga]

I had a guy put new SKF bearings in my wheels.
I don't think the rear wheel was done properly - it appears the bearings seized up and exploded inside the hub - lots of metal shavings and steel balls came rolling out when I took it apart. The aluminum rear wheel spacer (tube looking thing) that goes through the rear hub is pretty mangled - grooves all over it - very messy.

I have a race next weekend and just want to buy an entire rear wheel.

There is a someone selling a rear wheel off of a 2011 EC 300 Six Days on ebay.
Will this bolt right on to my 2014 EC300R?

Thanks!

Yes it will fit perfectly. You may want to ditch the alumn. spacer in favor of a metal one,the '11 may have this already.

My 11 has the aluminum spacer as well

Thanks John - I just purchased it. Very much appreciate the fast response!

Confirmed too. I swap the wheels between my 10 and 13 all the time.

I thought my mechanic had put the seals in incorrectly, but I've read enough posts on the forum to now believe that my spacer must have been deformed, likely due to over-torquing, and that this may be the root cause of my failure.
Are metal spacers available as an after-market purchase, or do these need to be custom made by someone?

Ok just want to be anal and clarify. Aluminum is a metal just like steel. You want a steel spacer.

combat, i got mine through M/C center although they are Factory GG parts
I will look through my notes to find the part #. Both my '12's had this alumn. spacer and were mushroomed from day one.
Ok I found the part # R575700 this goes back to 2010 models I would ask if in fact this is steel not alumn. I believe they share the same part #

The axle torque is supposed to be set to 98 Nm (72lb/ft).

The axle torque is supposed to be set to 98 Nm (72lb/ft).

Since I started religiously using a torque wrench I have had no bearing failures.

Combat sorry for your issue but we will learn from it as a group thank you for that . Have a great race !

FYI, wheels from as far back as at least 2002 will fit every year to current model year. 04 or 05 they started using a bigger front axle, but the hub is the same. You just have to swap the bearings, seals and spacers.

Great information guys - thanks so much.
The 2011 rear wheel just arrived at my door. Swap out disk rotor, sprocket and mount up Tubliss - should be good to go for my race tomorrow.

Good to hear . Friday Race day??

 

[CombatYoga]

Yeah my bad - leave tomorrow, but race on Saturday and Sunday.

Just mounted up the rear wheel off of the 2011 - it fits perfect.

Does anybody know what year had the steel spacer mentioned earlier?

If not does anybody have the exact mesurments of the spacer so that we could start make them ourselves.

My 2000 had steel spacers. Left, right and center. Floating around somewhere.
