Yamaha C3 Scooter Owner

[gabe502000]

Hello! I bought my first moped, a peugeot 103SP in 1981. Used to pack my sleeping bag + pack and ride! I've had my Yamaha C3 nearly a year and just replaced my variator with a Dr.Pulley unit, and installed a taller rear tire.This added 4mph to my top end speed and did wonderful things to how my scoot climbs hills! I'm glad to have found this group. Cheers! Gabe

I am considering purchasing a C3.

I have a question about the 10” tire / wheel size.

I am looking to install the very largest tire I can on the stock wheel.

What is the largest that can be installed on a C3 without hitting the: Fender, Frame, etc.

Best regards,

Mike Lynch

Hello Mike! I should get to this site more often, as this is where the serious folks are! You can install a 130/90-10 tire on the rear of a C3 and it'll rub just a bit on the upper inner fender between the 10:00 and 12:00 positions as viewed from the side. The fix is to fab some brackets to attach to the rear fender bracket mounting points that raise it a couple of inches. I have pictures I'd send you if I had a way to do it; It's not too hard to do with hand tools....Then You can put the 140 tire back there if you want, and still have a rear fender . Gabe
