Yamaha TRX850 Enthusiasts Forum

Hi I have been offered a maxis 120 70 17 tyre the std fit is 60 section will it ride ok with a taller profile tyre... My mate bought it for his thunder ace but never fitted it ..

It will probably feel better than the std 60 profile tyre.
I've currently got a 60 on one bike and a 70 on the other, and the 70 definitely feels better to me.
Almost all new bikes run 70 profile. The 60's were a bit of a Japan market fad and they feel like they tip over when cornering.
Your speedo will read approx 3% low with the 70, so take care near speed cameras.

Thanks I will give it a try , I am going on a tour to France this summer so new rubber is needed.will post some pics when I get back .

A FOR ANYONE resource, very useful.
