We all seem to discuss spacers for these smaller quads (we have a Kazuma Falcon 90) for better stability. The rear wheels that come with the quads are backspaced so that if you flip em around, they would have the offset to the outside, providing better stability. The tires have a directional tread pattern, so if the tire were turned around on the wheel and a new hole drilled for the valve stem, why not just flip em over and get your wider track that way?

 

You can. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
Usually just flipping them is ok (rear). Donno how directional your tires are. It prolly won't make a difference.
Usually the fronts have to be drilled as the stem hits.

 

Just switch sides on the tires dont take them off the rims. You can also drill a new hole in the rims and put new stems in them. This is a very common mod. Sometimes it can be done on the fronts but you might have valvestem clearance probs with the front brakes.

 

That's what I said. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

For more stability around sharp corners and/or improper leaning, its always better to widen the FRONT. Yes, the front. If you make the rear wider then the front, it makes the mini more tippy. For many, they widen the front (spacers, turn rims or wider A-Arms) and leave the rear "as is".

My Kazuma 90 tires are tubeless.

 

Yeah I know LT but I have heard of people thinkin they had to be flipped on the rim like he said. Wanted to clarify to him. A friend bitched cause he got his new paddle tires and wheels and they sent them on backwards on the rims. So I said why dont you try them on the other side of the bike. Presto! LOL Dont drink and work on your bike.

 

If the valve stem is in the way on the front after swapping sides then just drill a new hole in each front and then put the valve stem in bacwards on the original hole. Problem solved.

 

Oh yeah, huh. Derrrr, I didnt really put alot of thought into it.......but I guess you dont have to take the tires off the rims. Duh.

 

Erik the Red, if that's the biggest mistake made, your doing great! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
