190 rear tire on a 2000 F4?
 
I have searched and can not find any info on this but I recently bought a f4 that has a roached 180 on it and I wanted to put a 190 on it; is this possible?

possible? most likely.

Worthwhile? Not at all.

On my old Buell it came stock with a 170 and I put a 180 on it and it worked fine so i would think you can, but I'm not guaranteeing it.

putting a wider tire on a rim not designed for it changes the shape of the tire. and the tire will not wear right. and since the profile of the tire is differnt when you turn it will be scary becasue it will flop over in a hurry not nice any easy like with the proper tire. handling wont at all right

Actually just about every Buell rider goes up one size and it has very very little affect on handling, look it up on Badweb.com. I noticed little to no difference and it fit fine, plus the shop told me they do that all the time.

Worthwhile, I think it would be, unless its a safety issue...here’s the deal I bought a 2000 CBR f4 that had been stolen and wrecked and striped of all fairings and lighting and gauges for a very reasonable price....so I am in the process of putting F4i fairings, lighting and gauges on it and thought it would look better to a younger crowd with a 190 on it (because a lot of the newer bike have 190's). I will be selling this for profit when its done and I have put a few miles on it to make sure everything works as its should, so safety is my #1 concern (it will be inspected by a local reputable shop here locally) but marketability is number 2...the cost difference is about $10 because it needs a new rear tire regardless of whether it gets a 180 or 190

I have a 190 on my F4, and in my opinion I think
she handles turn so much better. I defintely felt a change in
handling, but it was for the better.
