RG150 - Rear Tyre Size

[koba]

Hey guys, I need to know the exact rear tyre size I should have on the back of an rg150.
I don't have the bike yet and I'm going ito rush mode to try get it sorted for round 5 of vic series.
Because it will need to be ordered in if I can find out the size I want today I will be a bit further ahead.

After that all I need is a clutch cable!

I know they're 110 by 17" I think, I can go check out mine at work hang on.

I've got a 120 shoehorned onto mine, looks nice but doesn't turn as well as a smaller would - I didn't put it on.

Mines 120x80x17" at the rear mate, should be 110. All the race bikes in the south are 100 or 110 I think. Certainly didn't see any 120's

I heard that if you use a 180/55x17 you be able to easily beat all those other losers out there just using the standard skinny tyres as you'll have heaps more tyre on the track.





























all you should need to know below.

Yeah and you need and old 16" Fireblade front wheel so you can run those new Bridgestones race slicks like that guy, what his name? Quesey Stonehenge who's whooping all them europoofters.

yeah google is my friend, but we havn't known each other long. Working on building a good relationship.

I went with what the shop had, 80 wide on the front and 100 wide of the back in the ContiGO variety - thats proof that sponsorship works, wouldn't have got them if they conti didn't sponsor Jay Lawrence but the option between 2 brands popped up and I so I chose the ones that are promoted at the track!
