Hi Guys,
I have recently converted my 2004 525 exc to supermoto with a 5" rear wheel and 160/60r17 pilot power tyre, the problem is the tyre is rubbing on the inside of the swingarm on the brake side. I'm ok on the chain with minimal clearnace and no rubbing. What is the best option, let the tyre rub off and keep it that way? Offset the rim? put a spacer in to try and get some clearance? or put a different size tyre on?
