Ybr 125 rear tyre ?

[new001]

Hi ive got a ybr 125 09 and the rear tyre is needing to be replaced im wondering what the cheapest solution is ? Its got a factory standard chang shin 90/90-18 on the rear.My idea is to buy the tyre on line remove the rear wheel and take it to a tyre place to fit the new tyre then put the wheel back again.My problem is i am having trouble trying to find the exact same tyre with the exact same tread pattern online any ideas ?

Thanks

Why do you want to put the same tyre back on?

Factory tyres are normally shite. Pick a decent brand instead.

YBR tyres;

Dont buy anything other than a pilot sporty. - The cheap tyres make it handle like aids, and you save only about £20. They're particularily bad in wet/cold conditions too, and we are after all coming into winter. It's worth putting the money into the sportys.

Dont buy it online unless you personally can fit it. - Most garages charge £10 to fit it, and the tyres only £5 cheaper online.

Watling tyres charge me £55 to supply, fit & balance with a new valve. The internet charged me £120 for a pair including postage. Which i then had to pay £12.50 per tyre to get fitted.

On the pilot sportys you get through about 3 rears to every 1 front. I've got 13,000 miles out of two rears & one front. It's probbably the single best upgrade you will EVER make to your bike.

As above, get the Pilot Sporty. Nothing else comes close.

Another +1 for the Michelins, they have been great in the wet and were very forgiving to my cackhandedness with the gears in the first few weeks after my CBT.

OK, the YBR will never break any land speed records, but it is nicely reassuring to have a tyre under you that seems to take take all the stick you give it (intenionally or otherwise).

As a new rider this is great for the confidence! IMHO

Another +1 for the Pilot sporty. When I had a YBR it completely changed the road handling and subsequently my confidence. In my opinion Yamaha should just supply these as stock and have done with it.

Thanks for the advice.The front tyre still has lots of tread on it but is a factory standard is it worth switching this tyre to a pilot sporty aswell or just replace the rear tyre and see how it goes?

Just brought a set of pilot sporty for my bike, just wanted to know are they any good in the winter because i just read on another site that sells them that they are summer tyres

I use Michelin Pilot Sporty's on my YBR which is my winter bike.

I've found absolutely no problems as far as handling goes in the cold - right up to the point when ice begins to form


My only gripe is their relatively short service life.
