hey gys had old set of michelin pilots on my F3 160/60 back and 120/60 front but they were really old and brittle when i bought the bike so they had the thread showing after about 1500 miles so i went to the place i got it from and got some avon viper supersport tyres now it feels really planted and no more low speed twitching but when i got them i forgot to check the front and only checked the back so now i am running 160/60 back and 120/70 front and my dad read that if this is done on an F2 then at high speed then the tyre will rub against the mudguard so is this the same on the F3 bike feels so planted dont want to go back to a 120/60 but if i have to its tough


sorry for any bad spelling and grammar
thanks for any replies

oh also if the tyre will touch the fender would it reck tyre or fender or both?

 

You're good,no worries.

Fugetabowtit.

 

The mud guard and front axle are both bolted to the lower shock tube. the only way it would possibly rub is if you somehow bent or compacted the steel tubes. So don't worry.

You may however want to raise the back end a bit or lower the front to make up for the higher profile tire, as a lower front end will help a bit in corner handling. It took me nearly 3 weeks to get my bike handling the way i wanted it to.lol. There are tons of threads related top suspension settings and a really good write up at musclecross.com here are the links
