.5-.75 clearance. I'm already in the process of drill the fender mounting holes so the bigger tire will fit.

Re: New to the GZ and forum
I put those same LED lights on the back of my GZ and wired them to the Brake Light. Sheriff Deputy pulled up beside me this morning on way to work said it really got his attention when it came on.

Re: New to the GZ and forum
Just replaced the factory 120 m/j to a 125. What a difference it made. From what has been said prior in my thread, my bike does have an aftermarket muffler on it and it wasn't jetted afterwards. I was told, by the guy who changed my tires, that I should look into jetting because my pipes right out of the head were/are blued from running lean.
Anyways, changed the jet this weekend, took it for a test ride today. Seems to have a little more power in the lower end, did not get up to highway speeds. And also seems to be running a lot smoother.

Re: New to the GZ and forum
Good for you. Have fun with the new bike and be careful not to get too aggressive with the right wrist for a while.

Re: New to the GZ and forum
Great bike! It's a stone vs bullet (GZ vs FZR); like WW said: easy on the right wrist movement
