Me and myself decided to do this lol aaand it almostly didn't fit. Had to tilt the wheel and spin the wheel to get the chain on. Afterwards sat right where it was before with new chain 1.5" tension play. It's like half 1/4" away from swing arm "crown" but I love it. Less power wheelies more center life. Love it

Not sure from your post. I think you put a 600 swingarm on a 1000?

Just 200 60 tire.

Oh, Ok, where did it come off of? You were running a 200/60 tire on a 600?
Oh, now I get it. you put a 200/60..., nothing about a 600 then.

Not sure If anyone done it before. That's why I posted it. Yea nothing about a 600 lol

makes sense if your track riding not so much for street. Track you have more road to engage. Street 190 allows for quicker turn in side to side. Only ads weight.

True but I'm 90% on hwy low 40s high 50s this tires is absolute perfection especially in cold wet conditions, I don't have to worry about no grip. I commute more than canyons basically, taller center. More center life etc.

? This tire looks like it's done a few laps on the track?

And clean your motorcycle LOL

Yes one track day. We had some rain and mud I had to go thru lol

I'd be wary of that setup. The chain is running extremely close to the tyre. It doesn't leave much room for tyre flexing.

I'm ur lab rat. So far feels great, especially speeds. I ride min 10k miles a year. 2017 was 20k miles year. We'll see in 2000 miles lol

This doesn’t increase your contact patch tyre pressure does. Like I said this isn’t very useful unless on a track. I get maybe in theory more tire means more grip but your bike weight already sets the standard for contact patch. And so does tire pressure. Plus bigger tyre means more weight.

I didn't mention pressure and patch. Just good cold and wet grip. Plus more center life. Pressure is personal preference. Softer carcass I stick to 34 38 especially R10 and RS11

Didn't mention pressure and patch. So not sure how did that make it here.

Nor does it mean tire last longer. There’s plenty of YouTube manufacturers videos explaining this. Bridgestone also has a video.

Being a taller rider I do like the 200 60. Not sure what's the deal being against 200 60
