You have to get the shnitz racing raising links for the Hayabusa, handles like a true supersport bike , I also went with the 200/55/17 in the rear. Great video
Totally agree with you man!! Big fat rear tires look great! I'm going to have to get new tires very soon! I'm just trying to push it till the snow hits and buy new ones for spring. Not sure what I want yet either. Good video man!!
Man there are so many tires out there it's tough to choose. The Dunlop Q3+ are great, so far I'm liking the Michelin Power 5's, the Bridgestone S22's are a good tire as well. My ZX10 is going to need to tires come spring 2023 think I'm going to give Pirelli a try. Never ran them before.
Great video thank you on my Boosa I use a 200/60/17 Perelli 4 and over the weekend call psi 35/36 couple hours writing I was at 39/40 psi hot and felt amazing.
Hello. Excellent an very informative video,thank you. That looks like a perfect size tire. Now what would thoughts be with a single side swing arm but not extended ridiculously long?? Thank you an thank you for your timely response I definitely subscribed to this!!
I'm pretty happy with the Michelin Power 5's so I plan to try out the Power 6's next. I'm also a big fan of the Dunlop Q3+ so I'm thinking the newer Q5s is probably pretty good. If you want a more all weather kind of tire the Michelin Road 6 is pretty good.
I like the 200 series tire. If you want to raise the rear with out having to change tire dimensions, then you can simply raise the rear with raising links. Schnitz racing has 1"risers for $45. This way you don't have to worry about MPH, mileage or if you have a new or good tire on your bike, this would be a more economical way to improve handling. If you don't like it, then you're not out a boat load of money. That's another way to experiment on your bike. Good content brother and don't lose your camera.
I took my own advice and got the 1" riser links. They Definitely make a difference in the steering in on corners. It actually shortens the wheel base making it more flickable. You get even better results if you trail brake. Went for a medium ride, 400 miles, on some very curvy roads this past weekend and it was a different bike. Feels lighter also. Very nice.
@@MonkeyButtRides very little. I actually like the riding position better. I ride with my legs, gripping the tank, and use my core, when coming to a stop, so as to put very little, if any, pressure on my wrists. I don't lock my elbows either, I just relax a little and go with the rhythm of the bike/road. I didn't have to work the bike as hard in the corners. Honestly, I don't understand why i hadn't heard of this before. I figured raising it would have the opposite effect as lowering it would and it worked out that way. I'll probably take it for another jaunt around the northwest part of the state this weekend.
Great vid. I like your way of thinking here. Original tyre pressure is 42/42. Did you stay with that, & how did size change effect your Speedo reading. ?
On road trips I max out at 42/42. Around town or more local rides (this video) I stay around 32/35. Great question on the speedo, I really didn't think to compare before and after. I think I might have some older footage I can go look at and compare to in terms of RPM/Speed and see if there is a difference. For sure I don't notice any big change but there is probably some level of difference.
@@MonkeyButtRides I have heard from members in the Australian hayabusa club that the original tyre size gave a difference of 8kph quicker than the actual speed when compared with a gps, then when they changed to a 55 profile it was almost exactly correct. But I don’t have any direct evidence of this. Perhaps you could do some research on this for your channel. 👍🏼
the speedo would be driven by sensors in the transmission side Id have thought so may not offer a sufficient change too much. the taller tyre should help that turn in for sure.
Sorry if I missed any of your videos after this one, but did you notice any differences in acceleration, speed and overall handling? While the flickability has improved, I was wondering if its straight line performance got affected due to a bigger (and probably heavier) rear tire. Thanks 😊
Would it be okay to get a different brand tire on the rear (eg: Diablo Rosso 3) instead of the OEM Bridgestone, or should I stick with the same brand as the front tire? I normally prefer sticking to the same brand but its not available locally where I live.
Typically, it's a good idea to stick with the same brand and model on both front and rear. I would also try to replace both together at the same time. Exceptions happen, I got large nail puncture once and the tire wasn't repairable, and my front was still very new, so I left the front but stayed with the same brand and model, Dunlop Q3+s at the time. All that said, in a pinch it will work, just not what I would call a "best practice".
@@MonkeyButtRides So I fitted a Pirelli Diablo Rossi 3 200/55 tire and after two months of riding, wanted to share my user experience so far. In summary, my feedback is totally aligned with yours. Bike feels super nimble in the corners, especially in lower speeds, I actually feel more confident. The rear end looks amazing and people question me if the bike is lowered (it just adds to the rear end profile so well!). The only thing I noticed immediately after riding out of the shop with the new 200/55 rear tire was a slight reduction in acceleration. But I'm not really a drag/street racer / roll racer guy, so it didn't affect me much. Maybe next time, I'll experiment with a 200/50 profile rear tire next time to see if the acceleration characteristics can be restored. Thanks again for the information video!
Nice tyres, man! Bike's looking good. I recently changed tyres and went for the Pirelli Angel GT II instead of the Michelin. They're all great tyres, though. Great to see it handling well. You're happy with it and that's what counts. Nice experimenting 👍
What's up man, always cool to see someone from the Hayabusa.org forum on the channel. Thanks for watching. I can't speak from experience. I have never ridden a Busa with the Schitz raising links but they advertise a 1inch raise which is roughly 25mm which is pretty close to the tire change I went with. I would imagine it would feel very close to the same as the taller tire I went with assuming the links were installed on a stock bike.
@@MonkeyButtRides I raised the rear on both my 1998 VFR and 2002 Blackbird by shimming the top of the shock where it came through the frame. Just took a few washers cut a notch in them big enough to slip over the top mounting shaft and boom! could fine tune it by adding or removing washers.
The difference in height from a 180/55 to a 190/60 is about 15mm * 2 (top and bottom) is going to be close to 30mm taller tire. You should feel that as the bike turns in and it can have an effect on stability at high speed on a bumpy road but in general as long as the 190 tire clears your swingarm, brake lines and chain guard it's probably ok.
As of right now, I got just over 8k miles on the bike. The tires were installed at 5478. Almost 3k miles and the center wear is still looking great. I think I will get around the same mileage I got out of the S22's that came with the bike but for me, the Dunlop Q3+ are still the king of mileage and dry performance on the street. I've had 2 sets on my ZX10R.
🤔 dannggggg ,i got 5400miles on bike, I put the Q3+ 190/55zr17 on mine at Less than 3000 ago already having change them. The s22 190/50/zr17 stock tire lasted way longer , we ride alot twisty not all upright riding, I do realize stopping weight quick plays a role on life of tire. I'm thinking about getting the one u got here ,trying it. Back 15yr ago u could run tires for yr or 2. Now the compund of tires wear out so quick.

Hey bro thanks for the video! I will definitely be upsizing to the 200. What brand do you recommend? I’m just an every day rider I don’t do any racing

Is there Michelin Road 6 200/55 ? And way didn’t choose it especially that it has higher Mileage? Thank you.
@napz999 the power series is better dry performance
@@MonkeyButtRides aha .. Ok brother thank you..👍

There are so many good tires out there it's tough to choose but nice to have all the options. Thanks Noobiker!
Tried the 200/60/17 Perelli 4 ?
I have not
Good day, I have doubts if some wheels from a 2022 hayabusa will work on my 2004 hayabusa. So if I can use them on my 2004 hayabusa. Thank you!!
Someone on the hayabusa.org web site might know the answer to your question.
@@MonkeyButtRides They are the same 6inch wide..
No clearance issues ? Thanks....
Nope. I still had lots of clearance left. I wasn't even pushing the bike TBH.
@@MonkeyButtRides Right on !
How much clearance is there for chain gaurd ?
There is half inch clearance with the stock chain guard. Here is a pic on the community tab...th-cam.com/channels/SNxnybcJYW-jgyp0n1XqCA.htmlcommunity
How would you compare this to installing a raising link ala Schitz racing? Crusin180 from the forum btw 🤘

Hello, I have a CBR650F and the stock tire is 180/55. Can I change it to 190/60 or will I experience any problems?

Hey did you tune the bike already?
Not yet. Coming soon though.
The real question is Can you run 120/60 and 200/60 rear.?
Not a clue...
