Title: Rear tire 180?
Post by: NikolaFazer on 04 March 2016, 11:57:13 am
Hey folks, it's time to change tires and I want to put 180 mm rear tire. Is it possible? There is enough space between tire and rear fork, but not too much between tire and chain. Did someone managed do fit it?

It might depending on the make as makes differ, they say 180 but when you measure they're less or more  :eek

The limiting factor here is the rim width the rim on OE wheels is too small your handling will be effected how much who knows but it will effect it especially at speed even in a straight line but without doubt when cornering.   [/size][size=78%] [/size]

Luckily that part doesn't need any improvement. Thank you for your suggestion.
Just looking a way to improve my bikes look. Cheers.

That's disgusting, those rear peg hangers could do with a dam good polish

Reminds me did you try using that handle we see there to put the centre stand on

And Nicolafazer just keep the OEM spec

I agree don't mess with tyres out of spec done it on my old gixxer was ok ish. But really changed the handling and actually made the tyre look smaller cause of how the it sat on the rim an even on track I couldn't lose the chicken strips 😏
