- It seems the biggest confusion is which wheel will fit (direct swap), and where to find one. Particularly, the "odd" 1989 FZR600 that seems to sometimes have a 3.5" rear, and sometimes a 4". It turns out, we've been looking for slightly the wrong thing.
- In 1989, Yamaha introduced the FZR600. It used a 17"x3.0" front wheel, and the same exact 18"x3.5" rear wheel as the XJ600. In 1990, Yamaha still had the same FZR600, but they also added the FZR600R, which came with the same 17"x3.0" front wheel as the FZR600, but used a 17"x4.0" rear wheel. Then, in 1991, Yamaha discontinued the FZR600, and only had the FZR600R through 1998. That's why it seems we have the "odd" 1989 (and 1990) wheel. There were 2 different models. The FZR600 uses the same exact rear wheel as the XJ600. The FZR600R uses the 4" rear wheel. Since both were produced in 1989, if you don't know to look for that extra "R" at the end, you don't know which wheel you're looking for. So, here's the detailed information:

- I left the last 2 digits of all the part numbers "-xx" on purpose. Here's why:
Yamaha part numbers are divided into sections.
Example: 3HE-25338-50-35 (1998 Yamaha FZR600R rear wheel)
- Digits 1-3 indicate the Yamaha model the part was first used on. For instance, "4BP" indicates the 1992 XJ400.
Digits 4-8 indicate the part type. For instance, "25168" is a front wheel, and "25338" is a rear wheel.
Digits 9-10 indicate revisions and differences. Digit 9 indicates a variation, and digit 10 indicates how many times it has been changed. For instance, in the "-50-" in our example, "5" indicates the 4.0" wide version of that rear wheel, and "0" indicates that the 4.0" version has never changed. If it were "-01-", it would be a new version of the 3.5" wheel.
Digits 11-12 indicate the color or finish, and may not always be present as not all parts require such information. In our example, "-35" indicates Silver. Here are the wheel color codes for the XJ600, FZR600, & FZR600R:
