I picked up a set of 209's for my '03 R1, but didn't realize they were taller (60 vs 55) than the 208GP's I've been running. Before I waste time putting the new tires on, I'm wondering if I'm going to need to get a longer chain. Does anyone know if the rear tire will fit with the stock chain and sprocket?

I had a +2 rear sprocket on my '02 and the 190/60 - 209's did not fit. I went back to my regular sprocket and they fit fine with the adjusters at approximately 80% back.
The tires stuck very well, but I did not have a lot of confidence in them - just my inner demons talking though.

They fit fine with stock gearing and chain but wasn't happy with the tire. Won't buy them again.
