New slicks are taller than my Q3's, coupled with a +1 rear spocket and my warmers can't fit between the tire and swingarm. What to do?


As the title says, I was running Q3+'s which are a 180/55. I put on Dunlop slicks which are 180/60 and I can't get my warmers around the tire because they catch where the back of the swingarm is since the space is so small. The tire will rotate without interference but I can't run slicks cold of course so they're effectively useless without the warmers being able to fit. I tried other brands of warmers but we're talking millimeters of clearance with the tire by itself.I have a 2012 R6, and the rear sprocket is a 46. I have the stock sprocket at home which is a 45 so I'm hoping putting that on will give me the space I need but if it doesn't...what would you do? Get a longer chain also?Frustrated.
