Big rear tire on cr

[1badtitan90]

What is the largest rear tire that can be ran with a factory swingarm and belt.. I don't want to convert to chain but a larger rear tire would just look better...

200/50r17. Same tire height so geometry and the speedo stays the same.

Nothing wider than 200.. That's what I'm running now

180/55 here, but I do like to ride around a few corners on occasion.

I find cornering with the 200 rear is fine, just takes a little more effort, but I'm not a "jockey-sized" rider so it's not a problem. You adjust to the different tire quickly. Not to start this debate again.

I had a 200 on mine and went to the track with it, BAD idea. Everyday riding with it was fine but not for the track. I quickly put my 180 on.

I read that ebr race team uses 190 55

People run different size rear tires for different reasons - the stated goal of the brother here is "a larger rear tire would look better" - on track handling not the consideration. To that we say go for the 200. Looks awesome.

I put a 180 on my fireblade when before it had a 190. I couldn't believe how much better it was on corners. I'm no speed merchant but really noticed the difference. 200s must be for straight lines.

this one has a 200/50/17 rear tire. Looks awesome with that fairing kit and xb tail
