Right now I'm testing a new tire dimension for the #zephyr750 and I'm using a 160/70/17 instead of a 160/60/17. Of course this is not the original #zephyr rim but one from the #ZX6R. You can see the conversion in my former posts.
The new tire has a diameter that is 3cm wider than the one before, so that my rolling circumference is also 10cm longer. But not only the gear-ratio changed by this, but also the character of driving the bike , because it has a rake of 1,5cm in the back now, which gives it a more direct steering!
Testing in the #eifel around #nürburgring follows!
