Sorry if this has been discussed before, I searched for the answer but couldn't find it. My front wheel is bent and rotor is warped - what other Yamaha bikes front wheel and rotor are compatible with the '80 xs650? The wheel I have on now is size 19 x 1.85. Also just curious, what does "MT" mean when its in front of 1.85? Alrighty, any insight would be appreciated. TIA.

Rim size and contour are cast or stamped into the exterior surface of the rim.example T19 x 2.15 MT DOT. "T" indicates that the rim confors to Tire and Rim Association standards. "19" is the normal diameter of the rim in inches, measured at the bead seat diameter, "2.15" is the width of the bead seat in inches "MT" designates the rim contour "DOT" means the rim meets the Department of Transportation Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
