190/55 rear on a gsxr750?

    I want to try a 190/55 rear on my 08 750 track bike.
    I'm looking at the 09 gsxr1000 rear wheels (with the curved spokes) that are 6" wide and I know that the axle size is the same.

    My question is if the cush hubs and rear sprockets are interchangeable and if the rear rotor offsets properly for a direct swap.
    What's needed if not a direct swap?

    Thanks

    wont fit. Easiest way to get the oem 1k wheel on, is to swap the swing arm.

    A swing arm swap (and also the wheel) is more $$$ and effort that I'm willing to put in at this point.

    the 190/55 will fit fine on the 5.5in 750 rear wheel, the 190/50 is for the 6.0in 1k wheel

    I honestly wasn't aware that the 190/55 fits on a 5.5" rear wheel.
    Could have asked the tire guys at the track but thought it would be a stupid question.
    Thanks

    The spec tire for Daytona Sportbike is the Dunlop 211 GPA in 120/70 front 190/55 rear sizes.

    190/55 on my '05 GSXR 750, handles great. Just went to a 6" Marchesini wheel though.

    Tried a 200/55 d211 on my 600, felt great.

    I believe in 2008 before the DMG switched to spec tire that some of the 600's were running the 211 in 200/55 at certain tracks

    190/55, 200/55, 195/65 all work great on 600s and 750s w/ 5.5" wheels.
     
  13. Dunlop has designed their 190/55 to fit the 5.5" wheel. No distortion of the carcass which may occur with other manufacturers. Most 190's are made for 6" wheel but will still fit a 5.5" no problems.

    I have run a 190 on a 5.5'' gsxr wheel more than once.....it feels fine but it does make the gearing taller.......come to think of it I may run a 190 at Road A next weekend.

    Do you guys feel that you lose power?

    Nah... I just run the 190 because I wanted to see if it would clear the chain and swing arm...

    I usually run 180/55R17... And my set up is lighter than the stock wheel assembly... :D

    you are going to drop a little power because of the weight of the 190. With that said, you are going to pick up some side grip so you can get on the gas harder sooner. I like the 190's myself. Been using them on my 600's for a while now


    on an sv...you dont have the power to utilize that tire. The bike would make a good bit more power with the 160 and more then likely handle better. A 180 or 190 on an sv just doesnt make sense.....it looks cool though, I cant deny that :up:

    My next set of Dragon Pros will be with a 190/ 55 rear then.
    I'm running 15/45 gears, that's plenty low on the 750.

    I've got a 190/55 on my 750, I love it. Only difference with throwing it on a 5.5" wheel instead of a 6" is the taller profile. :beer:
