Fair 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 :rollin 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 :evil

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....
