Konker KSM 200 Offroad Tires

granter · 06-05-2011, 09:59 AM

Hi everyone, I'm a Canadian owner looking for offroad tires for my Konker KSM200, bike has run great so far have about 1000KM on it.

Konker seems to be out of business so can't order the offroad tire kit they used to offer. XP200 Qinqli tires look like they will work, but the dealer won't ship to Canada.

Does anyone know a good dealer/distributor I could order 21 and 18 offroad tires, or can I get aftermarket rims tires?

thx, Grant

Welcome Grant!

You're free to buy any brand of tire you wish; the tires on your bike are not Konker-specific. Which Province are you in? One of my favourite mail order shops in Canada is www.gnarly parts.ca , but if you're in the Lower Mainland BC area, you can buy from their shop.

I think he's looking for the 18 and 21 inch rims, the KSM200 comes stock with 17 inch rims and street tires. I know my KLR uses a 17 inch rear, but it would be way too wide for the KSM... You could get aftermarket rims laced to your hubs but that would be pricey and you wouldnt be able to go back to the supermoto look.

There's a lot of dirt tires you can put on your 17" wheels, but there again you're losing the ease of swapping unless you get a set of spare wheels.

Does anyone know what the axle diameters are on this bike?

Actually that reminds me of a picture I saw on the Konker website once, it was for a contest I was entered in. A woman had a Konker supermoto with aggresive knobs mounted on the 17 inch rims, not sure how it handled but it looked like it would be able to climb straight up a wall!

I was thinking 21/18 inch rims would be the way to go, but I have seen some posts of some pretty aggressive looking tires on the 17s, that might be easier.

I have to change the fork seal too it looks like, seems to be leaking i noticed when I changed the oil, thanks for the info

I have a set of GY200 21" front and 18" rear with lightly used tires, and I'm looking for a set of 17s front and rear. PM me.

Your GY200 wheels won't fit the Konker bike; neither will the QLink wheels fit your bike, Rusche. :(

You could always order your wheels from Qlink. There are issues with them not being able to ship to Canada but there are ways to get around that. I got a front fork from Qlink, it took a bit of doing but I had the part in 3 weeks.

Blast, quick hi-jack, how to get 17 F&R on my bike? Maybe XR200 or anything fit?
Or even 18 front, would be cheaper and be closer to what I want.

Please don't hijack the thread, Rusche.

Granter is looking for answers to his question regarding offroad tires for his Konker/QLink motorcycle.

It is better for both Granter and you if you start a new thread for your question regarding your Lifan wheels.

Boy....17 inch dirt tires aren't as readily available, as I've found nosing around for you. I did find these though and I've had stellar luck with this company. They're even a matching set!

Price not to bad. Free shipping!

...that is if you decide to stay with your current rims.

Cool looking Kenda's, unfortunately there's never free shipping to Canada. Matter of fact, most (maybe all?) US companies wont even ship tires to Canada... Lol, I know because I tried like crazy to get a set of Duro's for my KLR, even to the point of getting a hold of Duro themselves!

Best place I have had for mail ordering tires in Canada is aviciouscycle.com in Ontario... Great guys and fast shipping. Bad part is the tires cost like twice what they do in the States... Bummer!
