Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Super Motard
Widest rear tire. typical supermoto setup
kawboy:
My warp9 4.25 with 150mm BT-016 rubs very much badly.
I'm thinking about a 140, or offsetting my rim to the right about 1/4 inch.
ThrottleJunky:
I thought I read on this site some KX500's were being fitted with older CBR600 wheels. I believe those are 5" wide with 160's.
would they rub too?
USMC 500:
I do alot black top track riding.......I sometimes drop from a 190 to a 180 depending on the track.....Bigger isn't always better.....smaller will allow you to go from max lean side to side easier. Bigger will give you a bit bigger contact patch at full lean but will increase effort to steer.
