Had a request for pics of a 200 rear mounted. Keep in mind that the clearance between the 200 and stock chain is very close. I just had the EK ZVX chain mounted and found out the EK chain is about 1 1/2 MM. wider than the stock chain. The tire actually touched the chain in one spot where the tire was wider (Its still new) than the rest. I ground about a 100th of an inch off of about an 1 1/2 inches of the side wall and everything is good to go; no more rubbing. The clearance is tight, but OK.

Thank you so much, Chris, for taking the time to post these for me. The 200 looks great....and it *just* makes it! LOL.

The cf muzzy looks awesome too. I'm torn between the muzzy and tiforce right now.

No problem, it gave me an excuse to go take another pic of her!

Looks sweet! But one qusetion,, I see it all the time, and wondered why.. Who do people cover there plate when they take a picture? when you drive around with it uncovered for everyone to see. I'm Not being smart a$$ just wondering.

Bike looks great!

You can find an addy for anyone with the plate #. Thiefs dont need the extra help finding out where the nice bikes are. You dont have much of a choice on the street.

so, with the stock chain is should be ok with 200 tires? or it will be the same?

I have read that the stock 190 BT56 is actually 198mm wide. You should be fine. Looks like you got a pretty serious set of chicken strips though. Does the 200 make it handle any different?

Chicken strips come with new tires! I was much more comfortable with the 200 in the twisties than the stock tire. Ill post some pics up tomorrow of the used tire. There are a few her that have riden with me that will tell you I'm not afraid to turn.

What made it more comfortable for ya? A narrower tire should help it to turn a bit better, was it the improved stick of the Maxxis over the stocker or?

I'm not sure to be honest. I'm thinking that the maxxis has a much rounder, taller contour. The stock tire seemed to be a little flatter if you know what I mean. Those are the only two tires I have compared on my bike in paticular. I have riden other busas with different tires, but didnt know the bike well enough to A: ride on the edge with someone elses bike or B: compare the ride to my tires on my bike. All I know, and I dont have track times or any scientific data to back it up, is that I feel MUCH more comfortable and confident on the 200 maxxis than the stock tire; almost like there is more rubber meeting the road.

 

[Skidz]

Yeah I do understand about the stockers having a flattened profile, it definately has that feel to it as well. I figure as long as it makes ya more confident and confortable, thats definately a good thing!

Chris, that chain looks super duty!
