Hi guys ,

I leave a long time, but now i buy a new ZXR 400 to use as my track bike.

:D

I buy this slick Dunlop tyres.


120x70 frond

165x55 rear.

The problem is that the rear tyre is for 5.5 wheel rim.

Is a problem to use to our stock 4.5 rim?

Can i use a diferend rim from anyother ZX series bike.

Thanks

They told me to use from an ZX6R 1995-1997 rear 5 rim.

But i dont know the mod to do that.

In AMS Kawasaki i ask help from Brian and told me that can made one for me.

I run now a Michelin Slick 160x62 profile.

It is OK.

But i cant find any more this profile, Michelin now has the 160x63 and is for 5-5.25 rim.

Compare to our 4.5 rim is big difference.

For the info, slick tires are ultimate in grip and steering.
