    Morning all.

    First post so go easy!

    Converted my 2016 FE450 to SM with a 150 rear tyre, has anyone fitted a 160? and if so how badly does the chain eat the tyre?

    Thanks for the help

    Is your 150 not getting any chain slap on the edge of the tire?

    No bud its clear. Have about 1/2 inc clearance, might be a bit less.

    Oh wow, quite a bit more then mine lol. I'd give toxic moto racing a call. A 160 should be good to go, if anything may need one of their chain blocks
