22's on my R?

[resto250r]

I ran into a smoking deal on some ITP holeshots only catch is they are 22x11x9. I'm curently running 20's in the rear, I realize it would give me more top end which is good but will it kill me off the line. I'm running a stock 42inch rear sprocket and a 15 in the front. Will I need to drop back to a 13 in front to give me the tourqe I need of the line or woul I be ok the way it is? Thanks in advance guys!

Oh one more thing this is an 83r (air fouler) so it's only a 5 speed would love any etra help on the top end

Drop your front sprocket down a tooth or two and you get your bottom end back and be in good shape.

Thatll work, except Id wonder about handling, I personally like low profile tires because it makes the thing more stable in a slide. But that depends on what you ride in.

Good tires.

Theres far more grunt hiding in that engine than those tires will take! Im running 18 x 9.5 x 8 on a 14 / 36 sprocket combo and gears 1-3 just spin the tires, it doesnt hook up till partway up in 3rd gear.

If you have a 15/42 setup (39 rear is stock), 1 tooth down in the front will get you close and 2 teeth will give you more torque then you had. To get exactly the gearing you had before you'd need a 13/40 setup.

what hole shots? If there XCT's in 22-11-9 be fore warned, they way over 25 pounds a side on aluminuim rims, I have the XCT's on my scrambler, they also come stock on the v-force.

leave the 22's man, its not gonna kill * on take off chances are you are probbly spinning on take off ne ways when racing, you will really get more traction and be just as fast or mabye faster on take off and top end,
conig, what is the lightest tire you can buy?

hey teamgeek * got a high performance ignition for the 350x?!

You should be fine with the 22s. I ran 22" bear claws for a weekend on my 84 and had no prob spinning them off the line. wasnt able to slide no where near like with the 20" badlands.

83r came with 22x11-8

[toyvette81]

see it came with 22's that means there the best if * have stock gearing

[monster 84r]

my 84 had the 15 tooth on the front , but i switched back to the 13, what a difference. in my opinion , the extra teeth were alot of strain on my stock clutch, with the stock gearing the bike has alot more torque. just my .02

[resto250r]

I think I'm gonna go ahead and get em I think the rims are yamaha though guess I could sell or trade them though. Thanks I'll try them if I have to go back to 13 on the front no biggie!
