Hi all, new to forum and new to the world of the Xb (had a M2 for a bit and loved it...). So far really loving the Xb9r (2003) that I got for a song from a nice guy on the BadWeather forum. Needs a little tlc, but then again, so do I so it's all good.
At the risk of persecution here, I ask your advice and experiences on what some would consider sacrilegious to the performance capabilities of this bike. I want to run dual sport tires (I know, get a Uly, but that's not the point here..)
The stock tire is 180 rear, how small could one go? 160? 150? (gasp).
You can get cool tires in 150, a couple in 160, but after that I'm not sure...
This bike is being built as a end of the world, ass kicker, super moto, light trail runner (without heavy modification...).
I need tires first, so this is where I ask for stories and experiences.
Look forward to advice and thanks!!
tom from Madison.
