trying to find out if i can put a 200 series tire on my 06 gixxer 750...got pilots on it now 180 but would like a 200..anyone know??

 

only supposed to go up one size

 

try a gixxer forum
OR look in the manual for your bike, it should tell you what sizes can fit

 

I say keep the 180, the bike will handle better and you'll have more traction because the 180 will curve correctly as opposed to the 200 which is pinched and thus has less contact surface.

Correct me if im wrong.

 

Youre right sir........

 

look at SJ!
all edjumacated

 

I say stick with 180...

 

a 200 will fit but is pointless. a 180 and a 200 on the same sized rim isn't any wider, and the 200 will handle like crap on the stock rim. if you're just trying to make it wider in the rear, you need a wider rim for that 200.

a 200 on a stock rim will not want to turn in, and once you get past the squared edge of the tire you created by putting that tire on that rim, it'll fall, quickly, into the corners, with a small contact point, and you'll end up on your butt if you push it.

 

thanks for the info.. think i'll stick with the 180 pilot i got then..

 

i agree
