well after reading all about tires i went and got a 180-55 17 for my f3..... and now that i read some threads on this site i KINDA screwed myself as far has handling havnt i!!!!!!!!!!!! UGH!!!! tire looks GREAT on bike..... so my question is how bad did i screw up my handling?????? stock tire is 170-60 correct???

also i have had my "baby" for six years and never touched suspension or even attempted to adjust it.... does it help for preloading front end for wheelies or stoppies or wat about the back end for doin this??? anyway hope someone can help me out here!!!!

Thanks

 

been loking all day on this site and i found that da 97 cbr f3 stock rear is 180-60-17 so i guess to answer my own ? the tire i got the 180-55-17 shouldnt make much of a difference handling ..... or should it????

 

stock rear is 160/60 17 and yes the handling is screwed

 

Do you just cruise around on the street or are you into the twisties and track riding? If you just cruise, don't worry about it. If you like to get the bike over then get rid of that and get back to 160
