160 tire on ninja 250r

[@sergioortiz9868]

I like it... There's 3 parts to the game.... Performance Looks And of course Luxury

[@acastillo1284]

To me i think it was worth it because when you use the stock rim with a larger tire the tire tends to bubble out which looks funny and you lose contact space but then it is a lot cheaper to put a 150 on the stock rim

[@acastillo1284]

To tell you the truth i'm not really sure on the new 2013 ninja but if you really want to and the tire does not fit you can use a thin spacer between the wheel and swingarm which will spread the swingarm wider to fit the tire. Just something to think about don't know if its much help

[@ts.sims7750]

That's a nice upgrade I was wondering where did you get the extended swing arm kit

[@Blur2467]

Hi hi

[@kawaspeed78]

still bad ass great job on it

[@ELFYHO]

I am really interested.. new ninja have 4" stock rims . can it fit well with 160/60 tyre without modify??

[@DelSigy]

do you feel the mods were worth going with the 160 over the 150 that fits on stock?

[@XRunner2628]

isn't it easier to put on a swing arm with rim and brake from a bigger bike out of a junkyard?

[@trewatkins530]

Hey what year 600 did you get the wheel from and the swingarm extension

[@TUBEMIKEC]

are you using the stock 250 brake caliper and axle, and did you have change out the wheel bearings....Thanks,Im working on one now..

[@jackjohnson5214]

me again, did you need a new rear brake line and how long should it be???

[@acastillo1284]

I made the copper bushings from a copper pipe that I cut to length but there is a sealed bearing that will fit.

[@iimecho]

You went to bike night ? You in Orlando ?

[@TUBEMIKEC]

What did you use to shave down the bracket

[@kerric4069]

Love this bike! Where did you get the copper bushings for it?!

[@TUBEMIKEC]

where can I get copper bushing,and what size..I found a 2006 650r rim complete ,tire,rim,rotor,and sprocket for 60 bucks...

[@dereklane5231]

I watched this vid like 18mnts ago when i had to ride a 250 for insurance reasons,,, i still paid $16000 CDN for the season but i stretched it 5inch put a 180 on her plus K&N rejetted 636 air shock Body kit Racetech springs and alot more,,, my point is alot of ppl dont know the diff!!! Now i gotta 2010 675,,,i let my buddy ride the Ninjette and he gets more compliments than me!!! Ppl offer to buy it at stoplights,,, girls whistlin,,, i live in TO Canada and most ppl just see an awesome sportbike,,, and with my 44 tooth rear it drifts in 2nd No Joke,,, with a bike thatll push 30hp MAX all U can do is make it look better... KeepSafe guyz

[@TE_53349]

you dont need to upgrade the rim or anything if its a 4.5 inch rim. 160 is the max size a 4.5 inch rim will accomodate

[@randysealey2909]

And my bikes already modded to both sprockets changed k/n air filter Yoshimura exhaust and headers stage 3 race jets rear fender delete Hid headlight gold levers with adjustable controls and matching gold bolt set for fairings bikes blue

[@Trickshotzify]

Is that a kit you used to extend the swingarm?

[@TUBEMIKEC]

What rim are you using, rotor and sprocket?

[@darkcloud3243]

Liking that alot....great idea

[@zulkifli5983]

Where to buy swing arm extensions boss

[@acastillo1284]

I machined the bracket down but its trial and error to find the right amount to shave down ( I have a precision lathe)

[@philliprivera5280]

Where did you get the kit to extend the swingarm?

[@acastillo1284]

Yes the caliper, axle and bearing are stock now there is two ways to go on the bearings u can put a copper bushing or find a bearing that will fit the 250 axle but be large enough to fit the 650 rim

[@Ncardoza27]

I don't have a precision lathe so I have to take it to a machine shop to shave them off; the problem with that is without measurements if it needs more shaving I have to take it again and means more mula, green. Would you be able to provide the measurements? If not, any idea what I could use to shave them off?

[@luismilian3315]

I really like what you did it looks good on your bike I also got a 250 Kawasaki Ninja 2012 I am going to stretch my bike 10 inches long I am looking to put a bigger tire what kind of rim do you use and what year.. thanks and good luck

[@martreyferguson23]

what year is the bike

[@acastillo1284]

yes, its a kit from motosport

[@acastillo1284]

I used the stock brake line i just took the line off and turned it the other way which gave it just enough slack

[@tonygoddard5598]

Hi, I have a 2013 300. I want to do the same thing. What year 650 rim should i be looking for and how wide is the 650 rim?

[@calebshockey3493]

Why not put a bigger tire in the front also

[@TUBEMIKEC]

what are you talking about ..what tire are those? Did you watch the video!

[@acastillo1284]

The rim, rotor and sprocket all came off a 2006 Kawasaki 650.

[@thaplugtv6189]

Is it the same for a 300

[@randysealey2909]

I'd love to do this on mine in Niagara falls Canada no one seen that here yet

[@nurulmuhammad9628]

where I can buy extended swing arm ?

[@nizoWORLD]

Do u have a email or facebook where I can reach out to u? I own a 2012 250 ninja candy apple green and thinkin of putting a 180 tire but had some questions

[@TD402dd]

Good engineering.

[@trewatkins530]

I found a better way and accurate points to make this conversion work on a 250r just did it to my wife's bike and soon about to upgrade to a 180 tire

[@acastillo1284]

Sorry its been so long. I was wondering if you have any pictures or videos of your wife's bike. It would be cool to see your work.

[@trewatkins530]

Yeah I do lol I tricked it out nice here's my email address so I can send back u them or u can send me sum plus I got not on Instagram do u got an account? [e-mail]

[@trewatkins530]

Here's my Instagram page u gotta request me @tredubb_customs

[@jmof85]

+acastillo1284 do you have a email where I can contact you? I have a 2010 250r just like yours and I obtained a 650 rear wheel, tire, rotor, and sproket. I just have a question or two if you got time thanks.

[@trewatkins530]

+jmof85 [e-mail]

[@trewatkins530]

Hey do u have a contact email customers I have different parts to do my wife's bike so the copper bushings ur talking about where or have to I make them

[@drogon2988]

I'm not trying to bash you as I acknowledge it takes a lot of talent and skill to accomplish something like that. I'm sure it looks cool. But in my humble opinion you wasted a lot of time, money and resources to make a slow bike even slower. The bike's only worth about 2 grand more than your tire project cost on it. Plus, with a larger heavier wheel and tire your bike has to work much harder to turn it. The best thing you could have done was get a lighter rim that fits and you'd be faster. But I guess you're just going for looks. Mission accomplished.

[@fazermatt6380]

Cry About it whan you buy a 250 your intentions are not set on having a fast bike to begin with.. so the only thing your able to do is to make it look good and stand out.

[@zackyates82]

Do you wanna sell your 250 tire?

[@TUBEMIKEC]

ok thanks..

[@trippavpi77]

i run a 160 tyre on a stock 2014 ninja 300, lts heaps better for me on rides :)

[@ulramlao5698]

😂🤣 what for? To look/pretend to be a bigger bike? Why not bye a bigger bike and trade that slow bike? No offense but i don’t see the logic here! Ride safe bro!

[@Zerocyxone9]

Why a smaller bike? Easy reasons: 1. Maintenance cost on a 250 is friendlier than a bigger one. The plethora of spare parts from other small sportsbike fits the 250, damn cheap. 2. Gasoline consumption is much cheaper. 3. The speed is enough specially when you are in Asian countries where traffic is absurd.

[@calebshockey3493]

Your a troll 😂💀

[@acastillo1284]

for sale 3,500

[@blazzing4321]

1000 cash

[@ulramlao5698]

Pesos? 😂🤣

[@Riqdakid]

Do u still have it

[@paserpase2870]

That ain't fair about what you said, you don't wanna give the dimension cus they gonna be the next person, why not give them anyway on the simple fact on the safety of it all, cus the right dimension will be 1 hundred%safer than a inaccurate one, think about other people's lives's when you do these videos people gonna follow your footsteps on your knowledge of this, if you gonna hold back on information that can probably prevent harm you shouldn't make these vids, cus you think someone' gonna run off with your knowledge, each one teach one, I give a hundred%what I know about something not half of it, just think if it was you, you would wanna know the dimension you'll be lying to yourself if not,

[@gerrigamble4950]

leave it stock

[@angelitogaray]

now you cant go fast straight or in a turn. way to completely ruin that bike.

[@dadezgambino177]

For sell ?lol Ill buy it

[@squarebiz1973]

A lot of work for a 250...I'd just get a 600

[@NumbaOne]

he has a cbr 600rr right next to the ninja 250r and the point isn't speed when you get a 250 its like your play/fun and experimental bike that you can really push to the limit

[@86daytonaz]

this ruins the whole ride of the bike !, your turning radius sucks! the bike stability and control is out of whack!, JUST GET A BIGGER BIKE!!!!! 600CC

[@calebshockey3493]

Damn so you have the bike you been riding it you know all this?

[@86daytonaz]

@@calebshockey3493 Yes!….. I had a ninja 250 and wanted to do the same upgrade but a well known shop did not recommend it. I only take my bikes to a reputable place. So what did I do? Got me R6 the next season. Just helping a person out to do the smart thing. Does it fit?…. Yes!…. But changes the ride of the bike and it’s not what’s it’s meant for! Ride safe my friend!

[@TUBEMIKEC]

What did you use to shave down the bracket
