Hi there First time posting but here we go, Currently own a te511 in sm trim but have been wanting to get a pair of new rims for a while now. i really wanna cram in a 5 inch rim with a 160 tire on the back (i have a 4.25 rim with a 150 on at the moment) Is it possible to fit with some clearance as i dont realy wanna have to deal with the chain chewing up the rear tire and if so are there any modifications i would have do to make this possible? Your advice will be gratefully appreciated
Mine was a 2013 511 and it would not fit on mine 150 was the biggest. Even with the 150 it was super close. I ran warp nine and pilot powers
Thanks for the reply i will definitely bear it in mind for my final decision, if i do bite the bullet and get a 5 inch rim ill probably turn this into a collection of me trying different ways of getting it in there haha
Update: just placed my order for a set of alpina rims 5 inch rear and 3.5 up front, just gotta wait 6 weeks Thats not a bad idea ill probably get one of those sliders as well, thanks for the advice
Oh wow thats pretty close, heres what mine is like at the moment. I feel like the conti attack tires that i have on are slightly thinner?
just have to wait and see i guess, new rims should arrive in about 5 weeks i shall update when they arrive
while waiting for the rims to arrive i have cleaned up the rear end and swapped out the rear plastics for the tc449 one piece have no idea why the pictures are sideways?
They were fun bikes for sure but pretty finicky and yes that fmf was way too loud lol. Imo use Mobil 1 0w-40 euro oil and change often like 500 miles. Air cleaner doesn't really get dirty too fast. If you take smog junk off and put pipe on it you'll need to do tps reset and map 3. Those mods really wake that bike up but can cause some lean issues. Enjoy!!
Hopefully gonna grab myself the akra full titanium exhaust some time in the near future combo that with a power commander and it should really come to life. I have had the bike for about two years now and put about 2000 miles on the clock and run the TC449 airbox cover with the extra holes luckily never had a problem with stalling or anything so far (fingers crossed it stays that way lol) Alpina rims should be here in a couple weeks, Im also gonna order a motomaster 320mm disc and adaptor tomorrow along with a 160/60/17 conti attack sm tire.
Quick update........ Still waiting for these rims to arrive the anticipation is killing me!!! six week build time my ass lol. on another note me and my mate made some axle sliders the other day using some Acetal (Delrin). again sorry for sideways images
They have arrived!!! 5 inch rear 3.5 inch front mounting the tires on Saturday, that's when the fun begins lol Also i designed some graphics for the side and the headlight on Motocal, still gotta do the front fork protectors but i think it came out alright
Looks great I hope they fit. Hey check those stator bolts there's a new thread on here where a they just caused a bunch of damage
yeah will do i saw that on an Instagram post the other day something to do with the OEM bolts being rubbish or sumin
