Re: fz600 - does a 140 rear tire have enough clearance
not too second guess you, but with a stock swinger? i'm thinking of changing out the rear wheel to a 3.5" gsx katana 600 wheel. guy on WERA said the wheel only requires skimming the sprocket carrier face to align chain. with the fzr400 fr end and a katana rear wheel i could run 110/17 front and 140/17 rear wheels with sticky btrs003's mounted. any thoughts on this?delvryboy wrote:as in chain/brake arm?

EDIT the fellow on WERA got back to me and stated he ran michelin slicks in 120 and 150 (in 1990's)with enough clearance running a stock swinger and 600 katana gsx rear rim. hmmm...do i take the plunge and locate a katana rim? v

I think delvryboy read it as an "FZR", not "FZ".
Has anyone tried putting an FZR400 swingarm on the FZ models?
