fzr 600 rear wheel problem

[paulr]

hi im new here but really need your help!

at present i have a fzr600 but find the back tyre to thin, so can anyone tell me if there is a swingarm that will take a wider tyre but fit straight on to the bike! fzr1000 possibly?
please please help

why change it? if you fit a wider tyre and swing arm you will end up making your bike slugish in the corners, but if you really want to fit a wider tyre then head over here, https://www.fzrarchives.com ask them in the fzr 600 section or use the search button.
but to be honest with you my fzr 400 has a tiny 140 rear tyre and i have no troubles with it, you might end up having to change the swing arm to fit a wider rim.

Hi

Likely to just screw the handling up doing it to the back alone. However most likely the easiest way to get a bigger tyre would be a swinging arm and rear wheel from an FZR600R. Might well have clearance issues with the chain as it runs VERY close to the stock tyre.

You are not really likely to gain anything from a larger tyre except from a better selection of tyres. And the BT014 you can already use isn't bad.

All the best

Unless your bike is designed for them, Phatt tyres are a bit like the hot-rodders big bore exhausts (Plenty show, no go) and I suspect, a good few are penis extensions.
