Looking to buy a new rear tyre for my bike at the moment it has a 4.60-18 mt344 a bit of Google has lead me to believe a 100-100-18 is the same can anyone confirm

Which year KDX is it?

100/100 is 100 mm wide and 100 % of 100 mm tall. (100 mm x 100 mm)

4.6" wide is around 120 mm wide. Depending on brand, and if this is a 1986 - 1988, I am surprised it is not rubbing the insides of the swingarm. This is also assuming the stock 48 rear sprocket.

Sorry for lack of info well the plate says it's a 1986 kdx 200 the rear tyre is a 4.60-18 mt 344 moto cross enduro swallow and finger gap either side

Tnats the plate, I just assume 6/86 meant 1986

1987 KDX200-D1, correct? I looked it up on TT.

Does it have the plastic chain / splash guard?

Oh for real I was trusting the guys words and looked at the plate an didn't question, I didn't pay a whole lot so no buggy but yeah, when I got it it had no chain guards except the plastic chain slider near the sprocket

It's all making sense now it's explains why when I did the clutch the new washers I bought for the 86 didn't fit but 88/88 did

I am the guy that posted a picture from the Kawasaki dealer book, "Model Recognition Manual".

I got a new 1987 from the dealer. It came with a plastic chain guard / splash guard. If yours does not have that, then it must be how it is running such a wide tire. Personally, I would go 100/100 - 18. That bike does not have a lot of power. Stock was 100/100-18 on even the 1989 - 1994 liquid-cooled models in the USA.

Here, look at what it looked like MANY years ago:

It shows on the back that the stock tire was 100/100 - 18.

Thanks alot for the help appreciated, been well over 15 years since I had a bike and all I new then was how to ride and not the mechanics side of things, ive done a few things so far but alot more is needed it was rough

Is there a whole lot diffrent between the two

Between the two what?

Do you mind putting your bike in your signature? It would help others when you talk about "my KDX" or "my bike".

Thanks.

Sorry 86/87 and will do

I cleaned it up a little. If people see "1987 KDX200", since most fols on here are from the USA, many will first think USA "C" model, not the AUS D-1 version. The USA never had the "D" model 200's.

I WISH, THOUGH!!

If you can, please post a few pics of your bike. I'd like to see it. Thanks.

These are the only ones at the moment still heavily a working project

Looks good to me!

Check that chain tension, though!!

Haha yep old photo but I got the ruler out and made sure I had the right slack
