How'd you manage to plug it up? Is that common?
Its technically a temporary fix (more so on 2 wheels)How'd you manage to plug it up? Is that common?
A 160 will work and fit just fine! those rosso corsa tires are the best track tire for the R3 i believe. I have been running Rosso Corsa tires for many years on al my other bikes.:laugh:Depends what you want to do with the bike. If you're sticking to the street, I would also recommend Michelin Pilot Road 3's. The rear isn't available in an OEM-size 140, but the 150 should be fine.
I'm planning on taking the bike to the track, so I'm looking at Pirelli Rosso II's or Rosso Corsa. I'd have to go with a 160 rear on the Corsa, so I'm going to try putting a 160 on this week to see if it'll fit in the swingarm.
Yep, just confirmed it last night with an old Bridgestone 160/60. Time to order some Corsas. Whether it handles or not will be another test, but at least if it doesn't work out I have another bike to use them on.A 160 will work and fit just fine! those rosso corsa tires are the best track tire for the R3 i believe.

It will handle alot better then the stock tires when in every area of performace trust me. Plus since this bie is rally easy on tires Im sure it will last 3 4 5 of hard track days easy.
No, I'm getting a set of Rosso Corsas in 120/65 front 160/60 rear. If I don't like them, they'll go on another bike and I'll get Rosso II's in the original 110/70 and 140/70.With the 160/60 on the rear are you going to still run with the 110/70 in front? Just wondering your thoughts on that, looking to put Pirellis on also.
It is wider, the clearance to the swingarm and chain guard is pretty tight. I didn't measure.Is the 160 rear any wider once it's on the stock rim, did you measure before and after?
