Micargi Puma GTS 3.0 3" Rear Tire Problem

[Old2new4ever]

I have a Micargi Puma 3.0... Im having a great deal of trouble with chain clearance from the rear tire. The rear tire is about 3 inches wide. I fear that I might need to purchase a sbp shift kit just to use the existing chain. are there and suggestions to an alternative method???

Hello and welcome to the forum.

Maye you can try offsetting the engine a bit using special offset mounts.

I concur... I always have to make custom offset motor mounts when there's a 3" rear tire.

Im having the same problem...gaining on it though, offset the mount but now my pedal chain isn't clearingthe flywheel cover...looks like back to the drawing board for me!

so far..waiting on a disc brake kit and triple tree
