Rear Tyre

Post by jstcraig »

What is the max tyre width that everyone runs, standard is 110/90/19 but there is enough room to go out to a 130/90 if my ageing eyes aren’t deceiving me

Why do you want a tire that wide?? I thought that sounded a bit wide for a KDX200-F3. The Impex Japan microfiche shows a G3 with a 100/90 - 19. You may want to stick with that. Just because it will fit within the swingarm, does not mean it will not ride like a wheelbarrow with a "too wide" rear tire for the stock rim. The 27 year old engine might not be thrilled to try to spin that much weight either.

It was cheap brand new clear out $50 lol,running a 110/90 was told that was standard size, can’t resist a bargain

I jst read the bit about the age of the engine that’s a valid point I hadn’t considered, rest assured she won’t be getting an overly hard work out with me on board
