In the correct size: Nope. No problems. I've seen it done. Don't ask me what the correct size is, though....

Ask IDRIDR,
He runs a trials tire on the rear.

If you search, I believe he even had a post about it.

The snail adjuster on the '06 is at 3.5 with a 15/45 gear 108-link combo. I don't know what it was to begin with because when the chain was new, I was running 13/49 & 110 links about 3K miles ago.

I'm running the 2nd of two inexpensive trials tires picked up from CL. I don't think I'd pay full bump for this narrow of a tire, but for $20 each I'll run 'em. Trials tires are very impressive for 95% or more of my riding. The occasional deeper sand and even rarer deeper mud is tough with them. TMII on the front. https://www.kawasakiforums.com/forum...-tire-s-35829/

ok thanks, I run mine at 5.5 and 7 (14 or 13t) so a 3.5 would fit. But I'm looking at a 4.10 mt43 or shinko.
