What's a jack kit? Is it the bracket that most wave and 125Z riders use nowadays? from posh...those blue or red metal brackets which go just under the suspension...is that a jack kit?

I change my rear tt900 80/90(thailand) from JB at RM85 wif labour charge included.

i change mine for 68rm only

[Gurd]

So Idiotclown, if I was to add on those metal brackets under my suspensions, then I can use 18inch rim for the back tyre? and 17inch for the front? Would the back tyre hit the mudguard if I go on bumpy roads w/o pillion? Will performance be affected if I/m using different sized rims?

 

Also, please suggest me a brand of suspension to use because currently, I'm using the original ones and I want to keep them and buy those that they sell in JB. The ones with the can thing attached to the suspension...Does it work? Or isit just for show? Recommend me a brand to use. Thanks alot bro, really appreciate your answers to my quest'

Oh ok, thanks.. Well I prefer the rear tyre a little bigger than the front... Nicer look, but performance wise I was worried, that's why I'm curious if performance would be affected.

 

Can you check for me if 17front 18rear is possible? Thanks man. You're really helping. Appreciate that.

1 question. what's the original size of WaveS 125's tyres ? I'm referring to the slim type, not the fat tyres.

 

Currently I'm running on 80/80 Front + 90/80 Rear, bike feels heavy, so wanna change back to original size.

 

Anyone knows, Thanks in advance !

Thanks fren. Specs from the website,

 

Front 60 / 100 - 17 M/C 33P

Rear 70 / 90 - 17 M/C 43P

 

I don't think Dunlop TT900 Thai has these sizes. The slimmest TT900 that I know of in Singapore are, F 70/80, R 80/80
