Hi I was just wondering is it possible to fit a wider rear wheel to a 1987 yamaha tzr 125 because sometimes it can be scary going round a corner with bicycle wheels

Rubbish, if you have good quality tyres and the right riding technique you can take a GOOD TZR125 over far enough to worry a set of knee sliders quite safely.

Bigger back wheels are about fashion, 99 times out of 100 it will ruin the handling as the bigger rear wheel makes the steering slower and, if you just squeese a big tyre onthe stock rim you can make the bike dangerous to ride. Spend the money on a track course/ track day instead. Will be far better than a bigger rear wheel.
