Hi,
Trying to cut some weight on an xl 350.
Looking at the back wheel, does a tl 250 or mt 250 fit/work?
I know a sl 350 works and is 2 kgs lighter but vary hard to find.

MT250 hub is the same item excepting it runs 520 sprocket v the 530 size on the XL
the MT has a steel rim v the alloy one on the xl

the four post cush drive would only barely take the power
of the 125.
one good squirt of the throttle or a throttle on landing would shear them off and instant nuetral
stick with the original and save your gearbox,you can save considerable weight by using a sensible sized tyre.
