The stock sizes are 100/80-17 (rear) and 80/90-17 front. The sizes I used were 3.00-17 rear (slightly smaller), and 2.75-17 front (equivalent size). What you get is an even greater cornering than stock, but it falls very quickly. Thankfully, your boot hits the ground before your pegs do, so you can feel when you are about to go too far. Dry and wet traction are amazing. Been riding for 6,000 km with nearly no tread wear. I can ride on dirt roads as fast as any dirt bike can, and on paved roads as fast as any speed limit requires. Nice Update To My Wave 125I Bought a pair of these for my 2010 Honda Wave 125I in Thailand. Put 2.50x17 43P to replace a 60/100x17 33P on the front and 3.00x17 50P to replace a 70/90x17 43P on the rear to get a decent weight capacity for a 90Kilo Farang rider.

The Honda Dealer in Chiang Mai said "Rims too small" so we moved the rear 1.4 rim to the front to replace a 1.2 and put a new 1.6 width rim on the rear. The bigger tires over-geared the bike a bit so replaced the (worn out) chain and sprockets with 4 teeth bigger on the rear to get it back to stock gearing. I have dragged the footpegs a couple times in the switchbacks on the (600Km 1864 corners) Mae Hong Son loop (Google it) and the tires have never slipped out. I hit some dirt that had washed out of the ditch and was covering the road in a corner. The bike did a controlled slide across the dirt until we got back to the pavement where the tires picked it out! I somehow managed to avoid a lowside and a highside with these tires. Got it crossed up in a heavy downpour on a concrete transition at the edge of the Super Highway that I didn't/couldn't see and the tires picked it out! (had to change my shorts after that one) I am happy with everything about these tires!

(Sacramento / Chiang Mai Thailand, CA) My wife rides a Honda Wave 100cc. The tires we took out made the bike wobble. She says these are wonderful. Not only do they look great they feel great also. We're looking forward to years of riding.Good tire at a good price. I have many of these tires and have been very happy with them good traction and made well Style and good price I put these under my 1967 Honda S90. They look and fit under the front and rear nicely. The tires fill the space under the fenders and look classy! I plan to restore many more of these bikes and plan on using the Michelin Gazelle M62 on all of them. Shipping was fast and the price can't be beat! (Twin Falls , ID) Michelin M62 gazelle tire The tires are a great fit for a 1964 Honda C200--90CC. Very happy with them. I am very happy with these tires, much better quality than ching chang. They have been on my bike 7 months, 1000 miles, not even worn! GREAT PRICE FAST SHIPPING!

Very impressed with the strength of the tire, very well made. Love the tread pattern, easy to mount, and price is right for an awesome tire. Sure am glad I found Motorcycle Superstore.

Put these on a Puch Maxi I am rebuilding that I bought with what were probably the original dry rotted tires. harley davidson for sale on kijijiGreat price for a very high quality tire. beanie half helmets motorcycleHave correct tire changing tools and be ready to take your time mounting these as they have a VERY tight bead. u haul motorcycle wheel chockI let them set in the sun for a while first and used dish soapy water.motorcycle helmet law in arkansas

Also note they have a directional arrow for the tread ie; point the tread forward on front, rearward on rear tire. About 100 miles so far good performance, dry conditions only as Im not inclined to ride in rain. Otherwise very happy overall.

You’ve decided you need a scrambler—but how do you tweak your bike for good dirty fun, with a bit of extra style?Here we’ll focus on the best-value mods, balancing cost with performance. Your goal is a scrambler motorcycle that’s robust, easily repaired and built using materials that can proudly wear the scars of your adventures. After all, if you build something too spectacular to get roughed up, you’ll end up missing half the fun. The Speedtractor T-61 Catalina Special offers all the mods you need to hit the dirt and work up a sweat.Back in simpler times, scramblers started out as road bikes. Most were reverse-engineered by factories or owners to make them capable of heading off the beaten track—and hopefully back again.For this discussion, let’s view the scrambler as the result of an approach: A mechanical embodiment of an adventurous spirit. It doesn’t matter whether you’ve got a big Euro twin, a lightweight retro single, or a UJM that’s more of a boat anchor than a fire road blaster.

Let’s tap into the ‘spirit of scrambler’ and get it done. In 2011, the Hammarhead Jack Pine made people sit up and realize that a modified road bike can be good in the dirt. It put the Triumph alongside the Kawasaki W650/W800 as a contender in the large capacity scrambler class.Smaller bikes that make good contenders are the Yamaha SR400 and 500—minus their mysterious pressed-steel rear additions. The 400cc Honda CBs and CLs make for nice starting points, and a few builders have shown that even Suzuki’s big single Savage can be made to work.Go back a few years and Japan’s parallel twins make for a cheap and cheerful base bike. The BMW airhead boxers, though not cheap, make for a stunning finished product. At the really lightweight end of the scale, check out Honda’s CB singles and twins in anything from 90cc upwards. (Go for the tube-framed models over the pressed steel.) There’s also the Honda GB250, Suzuki’s Grasstracker/Volty/TU250 and, if you have access to domestic Japanese models, the Kawasaki TR250.

The TR250 offers a frame and engine of handsome, period proportions, and a plethora of aftermarket parts.Generally, the key ingredients of scramblers come from twin shock, air cooled singles or twins. They prioritize torque over top end power, have visual simplicity, and fewer heavy cylinders projecting from the center axis. That said, we ride with a few brave souls who have converted Suzuki GS fours to dirt usage—so don’t let us tell you it can’t be done! As Charlie Trelogan mentioned in his guide to building a cafe racer, you need a few visual lines running through the bike, like the one above. Get those lines right and your finished ride will look cohesive and fast. Even when it’s standing still.To fast-track the scrambler vibe, try switching out the tank for something smaller or more svelte than a humped cafe racer tank. The goal is to shed visual bulk and create purposeful proportions. Remember, there’s a good chance you’ll be up on it from time to time, so no luggage racks on the tank please.

Bring the headlight back closer to the forks with shorter stays. Get mini gauges that can be tucked in tight, and shorten the seat a few inches. Together, these mods start to give the feel of a bike that’s had everything unnecessary stripped off, while still staying legal.Don’t panic if the swoop of your seat or tank interrupts these sacred lines a little: just get the axis of each component working together. You want to avoid your eyes searching and the machine looking like its back is broken.Experiment using the exhaust, bars and seat top to imply these desired lines, without having to create them with the tank or frame. Make your suspension mods before settling on these lines. An extra two inches of rear travel can upset even the best-laid plans. Fitting chunky rubber is going to change your on-road riding experience. There’s no way around it. On the upside, wet grass and loose surfaces are now your friends—and you can enjoy a little roosting too.The wheels and tires you choose will go a long way to defining your machine’s style, as well as the way it handles.

Spokes fit the bill on all but the rarest occasions, and we prefer alloy rims over steel. But beyond that, we’re philistines when it comes to worrying about gyroscopic effect or stiffness, sorry.An 18-inch front with a higher profile tire will have a rolling diameter close to a 19-inch set up. Either one will help to smooth out the rough stuff, without losing the visual road bike origins of your scrambler. At the rear, 18-inch is our preference but a 17 works okay too.A word of warning: check that your dream tire and rim combo will clear your forks, rear swing arm, chain and the like. Ignore this step and you would not be the first to learn they don’t spin once bolted up. Rear swing arm widening or extension is not a huge problem, but usually beyond the average garage builder with DIY tools.A simple square tread pattern adds a retro vibe and off-road prowess. On lighter machines, trial tires make for fat, if fast wearing, fun. While Continental TKC 80s (above) deliver good results for larger beasts.

If your heart is set on pair of the latter—and why not, they are damn sexy—then you’ll be looking for a 19-inch front rim and either an 18- or 17-inch rim at the back.Spend time exploring the handling traits and limits of the new rubber on the road, especially if you’re used to modern road tires. Remember that sometimes you’ll need to use a slightly lower pressure than on road tires. And if you’re using a directional tread rear tire on the front (yes, we’re guilty too), remember to switch the rotation to allow for braking forces. Unlike a café racer, you’re not automatically entering a hunt for raw top-end power. Aftermarket carbs can give you extra responsiveness and a useful horsepower improvement, though. Keihin FCRs (above) are our pick, especially on singles, but we suggest staying conservative on the bore size—to keep intake velocity high for better bottom-end responsiveness.Off road, the air box is your friend. It might not be as good looking as a set of alloy intake funnels or K&Ns hanging out in the breeze, but when you pass a friend desperately scraping mud from the folds of their exposed filter, you’ll thank yourself.
