Front tires

Post by jenleigh817 »

I was wanting to see if a bigger tire could fit on my old rim on the front? What sizes can fit if any other than the 110/70/r17? I dont want to swap to other forks or anything to do it, just curious.
thanks guys

A 120 will fit but will be pinched and you will actually get to use less tire than a stock 110. Expect about a 1/2 inch or more of unused tire on both sides no matter how aggressive you ride. The trade of of course is better tire availablilty.

The YZF rim will not fit the FZR forks unmodified. The whole YFZ600 front end on the other hand fits nicely without any mods.
