Yamaha TRX850 Enthusiasts Forum

Hi

Just bought my TRX and it needs a new tyre which is the 120/60R17 but 120/70R17 seems to be the size on the newer bikes. Has or is anyone running this size if so what do you think better/worse

Thanks

60 series gives a faster tip in and can give the feeling like the front end is washing out from under you but the 70series makes the drop into a corner a little more linear if that makes sense. With the 70 series tyre you can drop the forks another 10mm through the yoke to make up for the extra tyre height and still have the quicker steering just without the sudden drop feeling

Thanks that is exactly what ive experienced since i got it.

Will go down that road

Hey Cobba

Just thought id let you know i did what you said and yeah with the result.

Thanks for that
