G8 & G9 disc brake application
Flint was asking me about disc brakes for the G9 .... G11 - G22 was listed but what about the G8 and G9? Turns out the rear set will work for everything 1992 and up, Except the Drive. Prior to '92 Yamaha used a different rear end. So G8 and G9 have rear hydraulic disc brakes available.
1992 & up G8 and G9 and G14,16,19,20,22 gas & electric use the same rear hub OEM# JN3-G6514-00-00 Where's Dave when we need him!? |

Re: G8 & G9 disc brake application
Yes, but my book is telling me that 1992 and up are all the same hub (Dana) We are looking into fitting the wheelsca hydraulic brakes on the 1994 G9... which has the same OEM # hub as a G22....

Re: G8 & G9 disc brake application
Ok, you got me. Yes there was a G9E (when they went to solid state controller system) that they changed to a Dana style transaxle. So yes it could work in that situation. But no G2/G9/G8/early G11's gassser's had anything but Yamaha style diff's. As long as you have a Dana style diff ...should work.

Re: G8 & G9 disc brake application
Allright, scuse my ignorance here but.... as long as you can remove and replace the old hub with the new hub and rotor, shouldn't it just be a matter of mounting/ aligning the new caliper??

Re: G8 & G9 disc brake application
Hey, me first!!!!!!!!!
Actually willing to pay for mine, if things work out I'll be sure to let everyone here know. My thought is that even two big disks just on the rear will be an immense improvement over the stock drums........ |

Re: G8 & G9 disc brake application
Wilson's one of those rare G8 breeds........ no reason if it works for the G9 it shouldn't work for the Wilsons and G2's of the world too......
