hi there, just bought a husky 630sm motard. I just wanted to ask if anyone knew the best way to get a fatter rear tyre on the bike? do i get a pair of excel or geinhart wheels? I would like to go at least 160size rear. standard size is 150. aside from looks, i would prefer a larger rear tyre coming from riding sportsbikes, the 150 feels a little strange when turning in, maybe i just have to get used to it. I would appreciate any info from anyone. thanks!:} Enrique
Hi On my SM 630 it`s the chain that restricts the size of rear tire. Currently I am running a 160x60x17 rear, and it just misses rubbing on the chain. (original rims)
hi, thanks for your input! others have told me it depends on the brand of tire we use. can you tell me what brand tires that are on your bike? the 160 rear tire... thanks, Enrique
Hi again redback, also, what other mods have you done to your bike? Im about to pick mine up from the dealer next week. Can't wait. thanks Enrique
Hi there Enrique. I run Michelin tires front and rear http://www.michelinmotorcycle.com/index.cfm?event=pilotpower2ct which fits and looks ok. Mods so far are not over the top, but there is still time and room for more. So far: New exhaust - Arrows ( not installed DB killers ) Removed PU and installed a resistor Upgraded EFI with new software ( plug and play, came with exhaust ) Removed original plateholder Hand guards next mods: Off with original mirrors, and install smaller ones. New rear sprocket 42Tn ( and new front ) New chain New lower foot pegs Some bling parts pics here: http://www.cafehusky.com/threads/post-your-last-purchase-for-your-630.20390/page-5
thanks a lot!!! your bike looks great! take care, Enrique i'm hoping to get black rims in the future, changing mirrors and going to a 41 rear sprocket... i better pick up the bike first and ride it.:}
