That's quite a chunk taken out
How thick are the casings there, I would think that's a weak point, on that engine at least?Thanks for this i had a look this morning there is a faint polished line on the engine case and a small mark on the tyre where the clutch arm is, so after xmas i will have a go at spaceing it if that dont work 3.50/10 it ismouse wrote:we don't advise using 100/90 tyres on wide rims, you can use a 3.50 on a wide rim or a 100/90 on a standard rim but you should be very careful using 100/90 on wide rims, remember the tyre expands when it gets warm!
