L-Plate Rider
Bought a FXR150 a month ago and just took it in for a service. the guy said it wont pass its next warrant cause the rear tyre is too big and actually meant for a bigger bike. also its a front tyre? it passed its last warrant with it, so why is this guy being a dick? WOF runs out in Feb so im all good for a few months.

Tell him he is being silly, the reason you are running a front tyre on the back is becuase its got more grip than the crap carbon based tyres the 150's usually run. All else fails get a shinko rear for the bike.

Nothing wrong with putting a front on the back. I'm told it's common amongst racers - just fit with the direction arrow the 'wrong' way.
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

Interesting, I heard from a bike shop guy the front and back tyres are different as the front spreads water from the different tread pattern. I guess that wouldn't matter if it was on the back, but a back on the front might be different.
Whats the tyre size anyway? They usually run a 100 width tyre on the back, if its slightly bigger that shouldn't be a reason to fail a WOF.
