Ok building a stunt bike out of my 14 Kawi ninja 650r. Does anyone know if a 180×60 ×17 will fit? Stock is 160×60×17. Just think it needs a wider back tire. I'm pretty sure it would fit? Has anyone done this or know if it will **** up the performance of the bike as far as handling. I would think it would be better? Just need some opinions and ideas. Thanks. This is my first stunt bike but been riding since I was 8. First bike was a pw 80

Don't go bigger. If you are running the stock rim, it makes the outer edge of the tire roll tighter in to the rim. You will just cause issues. Leave the 160 on. It will be fine. I used to stunt an F3 on a 160 all day. The bike itself is more the problem. The ergonomics are bad. It isn't your ideal stuntike. Yes, it can be stunted. But it makes learning 10 times harder if you aren't on a bike that balances easily like an f4i or 636. There's a reason they're the most popular.

Yea I'd much rather have an 636 or f4i but funds are low right now want be in the near future. Credit doesn't exist, loan sharks and cash lol. Anyway I paid 1900 for it. Sold my 91 honda cbr 600 f2 which was in mint condition. Pissed about it now. Should have kept it. It was faster and had more top end but this bike has more torque. And it weighs the same as a 636 bc I cut off that God awful muffler. Thing weighs 30 plus pounds. U say ergonomics? U think if I lowered it that would help balance it? I've got the wheel as far up as possible now. Bc specs as far as wheelbase and height are within 2 to 3 inches. Most of them are exactly the same.
