  2. But won’t it be an 1199 when you’ve finished? Sssa etc so be no different to ride? (Replying to kind off of a ride)
     
  3. Rear tyre choice is the issue at the moment. Whatever size goes on the rear 6in rim will alter the geometry and thus the handling I believe. Happy to be proved wrong though.
     
  4. Track or road? 195/65 or 200/60
     
  5. Bradders; road riding so consensus says a 190/55.
    Giff; I’ll post final cost in December as that’s when I hope it will be done! Just in time for the snow and ice.

  6. What does the 1199 run?
     
  7. 200/55 rear for 1199 but 899 a 180/60 on 5.5in rim. 6in on 1199.
    As TC on 899 can’t compensate for bigger rim/tyre combo a 190/55 from what I’ve read seems the best compromise.

  8. Right I get it, you’re being restricted by the TC fitted rather than anything else.
     
  9. Yep. Unlike the RSV1000R which I believe you can program to tell the TC/ECU what rear tyre your using. People who track their 899 hybrids running a larger 190 rear say TC backed off to ‘1’ makes it ok ish.
     
  10. Guess on an 899 you can just turn off entirely. Not sure that’s as wise with 1199..!
