Rear Tyre

[dave_c24]

Oh if thats all your worried about I reccomend stock size BT45's front and rear.

130/70/18 on the back and 100/90/16 on the front.

And don't worry about leaning, that'll come with experience, not better tyres (unless you have a psychological fear)

It's VERY easy to scrape the pegs and the sidestand (to the point where there worn away) at 60mph+ using them.. I can make you a video if you need re-assurance :)

Renewing the suspension, bearings and brakes would be wiser than getting bigger tyres, as these bikes are getting on and often change hands and these items are very easy to neglect / overlook and can really benefit the bike.

Plus the BT45's of today are much better construction than the tyres of the mid 80's.

thats the thing i cant even picture myself leaning that far, always think the bikes going to slip .

i dont get much time to just ride, only commute and there arnt many bends

definately going to change tyres once, get tuning sorted and will more than likely return to standard.

what tyres do you run?

cheers dave
