Hi all,

Have recently been supplied 120/70 bridgestone slick for the front, I notice that the profile is much higher than the standard 120/60, do you just drop the forks to compensate? also the bridgestone rear looks totally wrong (pinched in) anyone else been there?

any thoughts appreciated

Cheers

Andy

Don't know about the Bridgestones but I do know that every race ZXR400 I've seen has 120/70 front tyre.
And I've not ever felt the need to adjust or change the suspension on mine as a result of using a 120/70

I run a 120/70 front tyre and its fine.

me too all ok

best person to ask would be neil from here in nz, i know for a fact he did back to back on difrent tyre profiles on this satuersay just been at taupo

hello peoples -

ive gone from tyre to TYRES over the last few months. I went from 120/60 dunlop street based tyre to the 120/80 duclop 250gp slick. I did raise the rear just for turn in. But the style of the tyre was allot different. The tyres had a far flatter slide wall so was real stable on the slide.

at taupo i changed the rear - remember if you change the rear ie 165/70/17 to a 150/60/17 at seriously lowers your gearing. So if i change the rear tyre i go from a 47t rear to a 46t to compensate it.

hope this helps.

swapping from 120/60/17 dunlop alpha 10 to a 120/70/17 dunlop alpha 10 I had to drop the front to get her turning again.. wasnt a lot ... few mm.

havent run off the edge of the 120/70 like i kept doing the 120/60, so its staying on even though it feels cumbersome in comparison.
