I think the Gen 2 wheels fit with a little bit of fettling.


I did look at this about 10 years ago but never bothered, so can't confirm one way or the other.


I also seem to remember Devilsyam (RIP) telling me that to fit the R1 rear wheel you need to have a disc made up to fit.


Have you been through the Gen 1 FAQ sticky on this forum?


Hopefully someone will come along soon and give you the proper information.

Early R1 rear isn't a straight swap due to the disk offser and radius being different. I believe the later ones just need a different disk.
I fit a 4xv one to mine but it requires work:

I fitted 2003 R6 wheels to my 2003 Gen1. Both wheels have the same rim size so tyre size is the same.


front wheel is a straight swap, except for the discs, as the later Yam wheels are 5 disc bolt fitting rather than 6 as on the Gen 1s.


Rear wheel takes the Gen 1 sprocket carrier and spacer so the left side of the rear wheel is OK. The Brake side needs some more thought and at least one extra wheel spacer.


I ended up using a GEN 2 ABS rear caliper and carrier that I modified with a welded plate to match the Gen1 torque arm. I needed a different rear disc (again 5 vs 6 bolt fixing) and i think i ended up with a Gen 2 rear disc as well.
