190 on a 600RR?
I just want to know if I can fit the 190 tire on the back of my 07 600RR? I know its pretty useless but I think it will look dope with my newly polished wheels. If it will fit between the swingarm, will it fit on the stock wheel. If yes, will it negatively effect ride or performance in any way? Thanks to the helpers, bah to the preachers.

RE: 190 on a 600RR?
From a racers standpoint...
The 190 weights more...enough to make a noticable difference.
The 190 offers more "side traction".
The 190 requires a different suspension set-up to work.
The 190 requires moreturn-in effort and is not as "flickable" side to side.
On tracks with long, flowing, fast corners, a 190/55 works well becuase of the additional side traction. But on shorter, tighter more techinical tracks the 180 works better becuase you're spending more time going side to side.
I've tried it, didn't really like but could feel in some corners where it would help, BUT Inever set my racebike up for it...
It's safe to do, but unless you can run a fairly quick race pace, I doubt you'd notice any real traction difference. At most you'd probablynotice the additional pressure required during intial turn-in. Stay away from the 190/50 unless you go with a 6" rim, the 190/55 is a little pinched on the 5.5" rim, but a 190/50 is really pinched on a 5.5" rim.
Who ever told you that should be smacked up side the head, tires don't bend rims... incompenent tire changers, pot holes and crashes bend rims.

iv also heard that it will bend the lip of the rim over time if its a stock 600 wheel with a 190 on it
