Suzuki X7

I know this is probably in the wrong section but could do with an answer tonight guys if possible 🤞👍I’m restoring my X7 and there are so many conflicting sizes for tyres and also shocks . The Haynes quotes front 3.00 x18 and rear 3.50 x18 and many other sites say 2.75 front and 3.25 rear ? What have the X7 owners in here use ? Also the shocks what should the eyes be centre to centre ? 300-310- or 320 ? Cheers in advance guys pete 😀

3.00 front and 350 rear for 250 X7  it was the 200 X5 that had 2.75 front and 3.25 rear.

Cheers tony you any views in the shock length ?

I know the 200 X5 had 300mm rear shocks, but that's irrelevant, I can only say careful you don't get too long shocks, or you will have too much travel making getting the correct chain tension difficult.

there is an X7 forum, but its not very active, here's a link      www.suzuki-gt.co.uk/          be best if you can get the correct length, sorry I can't help more.
