hows it going, has anyone put mudlights on the rear of their Z-400? How do they work? Can you buy some that fit the stock rims? Do they slow it down at all? thanks

 

Hey,
I have a set of kenda bear claws on the reaar of my bike, I bought the bike with them on it, so I dont know the differences really, but I do think it slows the bike down... I also find that the tires up at high speeds seam to whip in and out... I believe that these tires are alittle on the heavy side as well, I think around 20lbs each. but I was reading ITP makes a good mud light (around 15lbs) so that would be close to a normal weight of a regular tire? (not real sure on that either). I really enjoy my tires in wet areas such as power lines when I can really go way farther then my friends bike cause he has the stock tires on his and they fill up bad. Persionally I would go maybe with a The Maxxis Maverick becasue I think they are really light, around 12lbs and I think you would get a good self cleaning tire, but not loose the performance. I guess the mud light by ITP seams good as well beacause they are a 6ply tire so I think they would be a bit better in the sence that the Maxxis maverick is only a 2 ply. I guess there are alot of factors to think about and I guess it would be good to shop around. hope this helps...

 

The mudlites work great. I rode with 2 friends this summer who had 22" mudlites on a modded 450r and a modded 400ex. The 450r was running 1 tooth front smaller to compensate for the tires but the 400ex did amazing. I was getting hung up on my stockers and they ripped through :S

 

so do the sports do better in the mud with the mudlights?

 

Yeah, they work better in the mud with the mudlights, but its still not all that great... the racers just dont work that good in the mud... as you prolly know!! I find with them to hook up better as well in the grass and just normal dirt, takes a bit more to break it loose in corners or whatever...

 

Hey, i got to the store and they had razor2's on sale so i came home with two back ones. I really like them they are nice and flat so it doens't slow it down. They are nice because you can do fishtails f you want but if you want to go straight it hooks up really good. Also they have a pretty agressive tread pattern and they bite really good with the sides of the tires which works good if you bottom out.
