I squeezed a 190/55 onto the 5 inch rim of my RF900 which has 170 section tyre from the factory, and it loves it. Admittedly I don't use the bike quite as Suzuki intended, but the S20 is the first tyre that is still stable when doing wheelies, that I've had on there.

The RF has a 5" rim? Didn't realise, I will have to keep my eyes peeled for one...Originally Posted by Drew

That's the word. I've never actually checked to see if it'ss still original.

From what I can see they had a 5.5" rear rim as standard.

Suspect the RF has 5.5. You wouldnt want to put a 190 on a 5" rim. You would never use all the tyre anyway so all you achieve is a perceived cool factor

Might depend which year. The first of them wore a 170 rear hoop, dunno about the later ones though.

It's an RF900. There's no cool factor.Suspect the RF has 5.5. You wouldnt want to put a 190 on a 5" rim. You would never use all the tyre anyway so all you achieve is a perceived cool factor

The Aussie Post classic guys race on 200 section Dunlops on 4.5" rims in their Forgotten (Rulebook) Era class, its mental - half the tyre is still new when they bin them!Suspect the RF has 5.5.

94 thru 97 all show a 170 as a fitment, which would suggest 5" rims...

Oh yeah, cool or not the tyre is used, edge to edge.
