    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Ok I know this has been posted before. I did a search and found that some people who had the GS850GL use a 130/90-17 for thier rear....

However on my bike I have a 130/90-16.....should I get a 17 or 16? I am getting the ChengShin Himax from http://www.americanmototire.com/

I looked around and alpha sport says 130/90-16 and so does Dunlop however oldbikebarn is claiming 130/90-17

ahhh which one to get?!

Click to expand...

You have to get the rim size that your bike has - if it has a 16 on it you have to get a 16 or it would never hold air with a 17, there would be a 1 inch gap on the bead

also, check out www.Traxmotorsports.com I got the best price there.
 
The GS850G has a 17" rear wheel. The "GL" version uses a 16" wheel. Buy the size that's on there now.
 
OH ok! that makes sense now!!

Thanks a lot!! Thanks for the site too! its great!
