Help ?

What is the maximum size rear tyre I can fit without it fouling the chain guard or swing arm to a 1980 Z650F with a standard swing arm and standard 18 inch rim. Thanks for any information that might be forth coming.

Have you tried the "Search Forum" function at the top of the page. If you can't find anything a good rule of thumb is one size larger. For example if you bike takes a 120/90-18, then you could go to a 130/80-18. If you try to squeeze to big a tire you're going to mess up handling and traction...not recommended.
