There are a few combos when it comes to choice of motard wheels. 3.5 x 16.5/17 for front and 5/5.5 x 17 for rear. Depending on what bike you r riding, you might need to change your triple clamps as well. Personally, for 2 strokes you might not need a bigger rotor nor the adaptor...overkill. Fork and shock height is individual preference...some goes with the normal dirtbike ride height.

Wheel combo for enduro is normally 21f/19r and motorcross 21f/18r...Normally. Many a times it depends on the terrain and places you ride. Motorcross/Supercross tracks would definitely need stiffer suspension settings while enduro/trail does not require such settings. Well...there are alot of factors. We can only give you the general stuff but the best is look for some1 whose a pro/dealer he/she would know if your motard would be able to convert to off-rd or vice-versa.... Very Happy

which leads to this qns. what would be a good pair of front brakes? any recommendations? will there be any difference between the normal and the oversize ones?
