I have an '81 Kawasaki CSR 250 and I just noticed a (hopefully not too serious) problem with the rear tire. The tire has about a 3mm clearance between the chain on one side and on the other side there is 4mm clearance between the tire and the frame. There is some wear where the tire has obviously rubbed against the frame, and one can see where the tire has also rubbed against the chain. I'm pretty sure that this is the stock tire, but I'm not 100% positive. It doesn't seem to be affecting operation but I don't think it's very good for the tire. I'll try to post some pics later tonight. Is this normal for this bike? Is there a fix or should I just live with it? Any ideas and suggestions are appreciated. Thanks |
I'd be very surprised if it's the stock tire. Many people go too wide in the interest of a more substantional "look".
