If its a 95 to 98 model then this can be easily cured by flipping the front sprocket and using a 900SS Sprocket carrier, if its the earlier 94 engine then you can't do this as the output shaft is shorter and as such the sprocket is already flipped wrt the later bikes.


Going to stick with standard tyre sizes thanks for the advice got a good deal on Metzeler Sportec m1 front and m3 rear got to be better than worn out road attacks didn't like them at all
