    DR650 Tyre size

    Hi Folks,

    Just wondering about running a 130 rear on a DR650.

    Is it a good/bad/indifferent idea? There just seems to be a bit more choice when it comes to the 130's

    Opnions/experiences please!

    Thanks.

    I am - Mitas E09 130, before that it was a Pirelli MT21 130, no problems.

    I am too. Had the MT21, currently running a D606 130 and also have a Shenko 5.1 which I understand is the same as the 130. No problems here either.
