KZ650F (Z650 - F2) spoke wheels

Hi

Newbie here

Just bought a 1981 Z650-F2 with the magwheels. I bet u guys heard this Q a thousand times.

But any how here goes. Are there any spoke wheels from any of the Kwack-models that I can use straight up?

Thx in advance.

The F2 isn't a USA model, so it won't be listed in the diagrams at the various places, such as Partzilla. The frame appears to be a 70s type found on the 1980 & earlier 650s, but I don't know what type of wheel/hub stuff you have or if it matters.

The 81-83 KZ650-CSR & 81-82 1000-CSR had 48-spoke wheels (16" Rr w/ a fat tire). The Big CSR has triple disks. The 650-CSR has a single disk Fr Br & Rr drum; a second disk at the Fr can be added; the model overall is quite a bit different from the earlier 650s, but some of the hub stuff is the same as the 650-B which has 40-spoke wheels.

I put KZ550-Ltd wheels on my CSR --- they were a direct swap. All I needed from the 550 were the wheels & Fr Br disk --- everything else was the same: axles, speedo drive, spacers, Rr Br panel, sprocket carrier, etc. If the 550/750-4 wheels are the same type as yours, the swap should work the other way on the F2.

I will look in to that.
Allthyough I have a 18" rear right now. weren´t there any spoke wheels at 18"?

The 70s standard models had 18" rear wheels, but I don't know much about those.
KZ650-B, KZ750-B Twins, KZ900-A & KZ1000-A. I think most of them had 40-spoke wheels.
The 650-B had a Rr drum brake; not sure about the others. Partzilla has about the easiest diagrams to use.

Great stuff I will look in to´that.

thx so much for your help.
