wheel spacers

[kpuc11]

hello I am new to gasgas, I was wondering where is the best place to get wheel spacers? also what are the longest lasting wheel spacers??

Never had problems with the OEM spacer!
I would by original.

OEM should be fine.

Check out GoFasters (site sponsor). They have a hardened left side they sell. The right side is on backorder right now.

I'd try the ones from Checkpoint.

I found those after I bought OEM to replace my extremely worn spacers. I'll find out how they fared when I tear the bike down in a couple months.

Matt Stavish at checkpoint offroad had hardened ones as well.

I had the checkpoint ones and just recently switched to the SKF wheel seal kit. checkpoint lasted longer than oem with regards to grooving, the SKF i have not had for long, but the fact that the seal turns with rather than against the spacer means the spacer will last longer - still to see if the seal lasts

What SKF part # did you use Matt?

 

[swazi_matt]

i think it was:
WKIT-F002GG (front)
WKIT-R002GG (rear)
that is what i have on the invoice.

 

[swazi_matt]

found on another post:
front: W KIT F002-GG 10009357179
REAR: W KIT R002-GG 10009376179

-SKF spacers are meant to go down with their bearings.
That's why they come together (and cost double )
the groves were insane (and so was the bearing that came out in pieces)

-Checkpoint spacers last much longer than stock.

beware : SKF rear spacer has larger outside diameter than the stock/checkpoint ones.
It will not fit stock/allballs seals!
make sure you have a checkpointer handy if you have another brand for spares in a race.
