I have a 2003 CR125 that I am looking to get a new rear tire for. I was wondering if anyone knows the max width that can be run before interference problems with the chain or swingarm. I was also looking at a set of Maxxis IT Desert tires as I ride mainly in the desert. Any help would be great as the widest they come in is a 120.

Thanks,
SVandal

I'm sure it'll take a 120 alright, should be enough clearance for a 130 but on a 125, I wouldn't go too big.

Well, its a 200 motor in a 125 frame. The 200 was last on a 5.1 x 18 so as I understand it a 5.1 is about a 120-130, I wanted to go to a 110 at least, or even a 120, but I wanted to make sure that the bike wouldn't have issues with that wide of a tire.

This is a Hondasaki cr200x by the way, getting closer to done.

thanks for the info!

Well, it is nowhere near finished, but this is where it is at now.
