All right. Lets stop it. I think my English is not good enough yet...
Quote from: thom_1991 on 10 January 2012, 03:01:02 pmFair enough but still your using a 3.5" tyre on a 3" rim so at best its not got the profile that Bridgestone Michelin etc intended. 10mm different, 5mm per side. 4,33" as opposed to 4,72" nominally. Fits quite happily on there and means that you still have tread when the rear runs out, I ride on the front so it's good for me. I expect fitting the occasional 190 on the rear of my other bike instead of the 180 is dodgy too The profile is slightly pulled but so what, not excessive, not dangerous, helps handling, more rubber on road too. Get a grip for pitys sake. I suppose my Renthalls, bar end mirrors, fazer 1000 rear caliper, disc of a thundercat, screen bolts, perch bolts and so on aren't good as Yamaha didn't fit them, goodness knows about the blue flame and stainless downpipes, and oh god the main stand isn't fitted and the rear is jacked up too. It's a hanging for sure

Hang on i'm not saying if you modify your bike you'll be killed to death horribly or anything just saying the profiles not whats intended. I used a 140 instead of 130 rear on my cb500 because it's all sticky and cheap used Bt090's come in. Oh and my Nitron shock, zx6rm/c, K tech fork springs, goldspots aren't what Yamaha put on, neither are the clip on's or Jap rearsets that are on the way....
It's not poor advice it's a statement of fact. 120 tyre on a 110 rim changes it's profile.
wow this is getting deep so some say you can and some say not
Lumpy i think your thinking is way out riders do not hang off their bikes to save tyres never never ever....
Sorry for my bad english

The correct move is to put a wheel from FZR400RR which is identical to the FZS600 and behind a wheel of YZF1000TUNDERACE and so you can enjoy a much better grip.That way they can find and widest range of tires 120 and 180.

Bearings, axle? Can I use them from FZS, or I have to get FZR400 axle and bearings?160 rear is common, but 110 is a bit harder to find, so I'd look for front wheel swap.
I expect it may have been but as mine is a commuter with occasional big bike chasing, I'm content with what I have. Not keen on the 023s though still prefer the Dunplops Roadsmarts wet and dry.

Only difference is in rear wheel and you have to made two adapters to use the axis of the FZS.
