F3 question

Do any of you guys or gals know if the '97 - '98 F3s came with 180 rears? I was not certain, and I know some of you have extensive experience with these bikes, so I just thought I would check.

Re: F3 question

So if I can remember correctly, Honda was using Bridgestone as one of their OEM tire suppliers. Going to the Bridgestone webpage, this is what they have listed:

Honda CBR600F3 SJR 95-98

OEM:
Battlax BT010
Front: 120/60ZR17
Rear: 160/60-17

Recommended
Battlax BT010
Front: 120/60ZR17
Rear: 160/60ZR17

Re: F3 question

I kinda figured you could put a 180 on the back, but again I wasn't sure. I'll store that in the noggin for future reference.
Thanks for the replies.

Re: F3 question

a 180 will fit but stock was the 160 as others have said. I ran them on my F3 on the track. It does pinch them a bit so it's almost impossible to get to the edge of the tire, but it handled well for me.

Re: F3 question

When I got my F3 it had a 180 on it and after seeing the price diffrence I decided to try the stock 160 and was amazed at how much better the bike handled and the 160 tire even lasted longer since the tire wasn't flattened out so much.
