170 Rear Tire and CCT spring

[rexazz2]

A couple hours in the garage this morning and a couple busted knuckles

With Kreylins help a I picked out a Conti Road Attack 170 rear tire and really happy with how it feels and looks pretty good



Changed out the Cam Chain Tensioner spring , included pictures to show how the old one had weakend and was slightly shorter

Good tires, have them on my Kat too.

I am hoping they wear better than the previous bridgestones, I had to replace the front before the rear with them

Is that a 170 on a stock swing arm with no mods to the arm?

Is that a 170 on a stock swing arm with no mods to the arm?

yes and yes
In the Continental fitment guide the 170 Continental Road Attack is recommended for a 4.5" rim
NOT ALL of the models are recommended for the 4.5" rim

[Kfreak]

Never mind. You have an 04. I thought it was a pre.

[dzkatrider]

i cant believe that it clears everything so nicely. looks good tho

[Astro4x4]

Tire looks good.
So did the new spring quiet the noise?

Yes, sounds like a normal sewind machine now
Sure wish the dealer would have had it in stock the last time I was in there

which ones were you running before?

[rexazz2]

which ones were you running before?

It was a BT020, wore like crap ,flat spotted
I know high speed highway running is my fault for the flat spot
The old tire made it feel like it fell over in the corners , getting off the flat spot

[nealy212]
