That was Wattie and it was a oooooooold 190 with to much flex.

Just move the rim back if it is really that bad.

Other than that chain the gearing by dropping a tooth at the front. that will give you extra length

mine was a 195/70 or some shit.

But 200/55 will be fine.

can i ride it yet??

He's spot on. Ya gotta make sure you've got st least 50psi in it otherwise at speeds anything over 450kph tyre growth causes issues with it hitting the front of the swingarm.......

But apparently if you use nitrogen, you'll o ly need 49psi as the temps remain more static.

It would to slow for compared to your beast....Why would you want to ride it... your bike has all the bling(ohlins,etc).


Strika you've lost me!

"otherwise at speeds anything over 450kph tyre growth causes issues" ??????

Its a bike not a space shuttle (450kph)

I've had to stop drag racing. Since being ill, I've lost weight n none of my dresses fit any more.

Bling?? It has an old online shock in the back. Not even a TTX.

And even my suspension guy calls my front forks "garbage".
It's valves were old bits from other bikes he found in his garbage bin.

It has pair of bolt on pipes, second hand kaneg rearsets and old smashed fairings donated by nicoletti performance racing ( Firey rob)
Braided lines, stock shit brakes.

Oh yeah it's got the smog stuff blocked off too.

Your bike would be like a superbike compared to mine!!!

Your bike would be like a superbike compared to mine.

But its got the Gumby Phowaaaa that the Bug lacks

I got some used Ntec slicks in a 195 if u want them Baddie or anyone...
