  • a wider tire??

    i have a 600 katana and the original rear size of tire is a 150/70/17 and i was thinking if whether if it was possible for me to mount on a 160/60/17 tire on the rear without tweaking w the swing arm. i've been ridding up in the mountains and basically leaned the bike all the way on the 150 tire and was wondering if i mount on a wider tire, it'll be easier to lean......... if anyone of you guy's have done it, how does it ride??

    Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a
    mistake when you make it again.

                        well basically.... cuz new members will ask questions that have been already answered and if some of the best answers are "use the search link" then what's the point of even trying to post a new thread on a "katana" forum??
