Katana Owners Club U.K.

Why have we not got a technical reference 'sticky' section to stop me asking supid questions that have been posted before and because I'm too lazy to troll through loads of search pages.

Anyway current moan over, back to the question;

What is the maximum size, best size rear tyre to fit?
currently looking for 130 90 17
what else fits, whats recommended?
Can I go tubeless, just had a front fitted and tyre fittr said need inner tube because rim/ridge inside tyre not suitable, is this so and same for rear,I know you can enlage the valve hole.

Make sure you stick to the 90 profile, 70 or 80 looks pish on a stock Kat, just my humble opinion

If they look crap I guess I'd better get a new back tyre then.............

For sure bud but the beauty of ur bike overwhelmes the pating eye an no one notices mate.

Dont start sucking upto me know...........the damage is already done...........

And after all I have done for you today !





























Only kidding!

I'm sold on the 90 but need information on width and wether tubed or can tubeless be fitted?

best size is likely the stock size as that is what the rim is designed for. no doubt a 140 would fit but you may need an 80 profile as not sure you can find a 140/90?

my "snowflake" rims don't have tubes in them.... and are fine.

By snowflake do you mean standard wheels

the earlier kat wheels opposed to the later 6 spoke jobs
