Title: Tire suggestions
Post by: mud390 on April 29, 2010, 11:23:45 AM
Hey everyone.  I'm fairly new here.  I recently bought a 1991 Bandit 250 (I'm in Japan).  As any older bike, it needs a few things, tires being one of them.  I plan on using the bike for commuting and the occasional weekend ride through the mountains.  I'm pretty new to street riding, so I won't be pushing the bike anywhere near it's limits.  I was considering putting a set of Battlax 45's in the stock size on the bike.  I can get a set locally for around $180, not including mount and balance.  Does anyone have any experience with these tires?  Any other suggestions or recommendations for a set of stock sized tires?  Thanks!

On the second gen Bandit with the a 150/60 rear, what size tire came on the front?  Thanks, by the way!

The front tyre is 110/70, same as on the 1st gen.  Our wiki has all the specs.

FYI, the BT-92 rear is slightly smaller than the BT-45, and the BT-92 front is slightly larger than the BT-45.  I find that my speedo reads a bit slower than before and my headlight pointed higher up.
