Hi, just a quick question for you guys. I have a 2002 and I want to put new tires on it. I currently have 130/80-17 on the rear. I am looking at the Dunlop D606 but the only size that is close is 130/90-17. I know 17 is the rim size, I am guessing 90 is the width? Will they fit on my bike? Also, does anyone else have any other suggestions on 10% road, 90% dirt tires? And can anyone recommend a good website to purchase the new tires? Thanks, Ron Turnersville, NJ 2002 KLR650 2005 F650GS Dakar

130 (mm) is the width, 90 is the ratio of ht to width, I think. DC ronnyk737 wrote:

The list FAQ: http://www.bigcee.com/klr650faq.html ... does list the 130/90-17 for the Dunlop D606, so I suspect it will fit. There are some other options listed there also. -- Doug Herr doug@...

San Diego = Mexico, probably the chief of police is giving to his kid at this moment, they don't give a shit about the cut strap, they don't need no stinking straps!

I am getting a new set of rubbers for my bike but have run into a question I can't answer. What is the rim size of the KLR? I know it is 21 in front and 17 rear but bike bandit is asking for rim size too. It gives a couple options. I have a tire on the back now that is too wide I think cause it rubs on my chain guard (bought it that way)and it is a 5.10 x 17. Any ideas? Paul

<><><><><><><><> <><><><><><><><> Paul, Sorry I don't know the rim width. But a 5.10 x 17 is the correct size for the rear. I've been running a Kenda K270 on the rear for over 23,000 smiles and have a nice v-groove worn in the chain guard.

Thanks Jeff Sounds like we have the same tire. I love it and am buying a new one and one for the front too. Any idea what size the front is? I can live with the groove in the chain guard on the back. paul

DOn't kow what type of tires you are looking for but the MEFO Explorers on my 08 have about 1K on them wet and dry and I like them, I am 80/20 percent as I get older don't venture off-road as much as I used to......
