I can't answer as to handling and whatnot, but your speedometer will now read about 6% slow. A 130/90/16 has an approximate circumference of 79.2", which is about 6% bigger than the 74.75" approximate circumference of the 110/90/16 stock tire.

The recommended front tire size for my bike is 110/90/16 however the closest size I can find in the ME880 is 130/90/16. I have seen them mounted in this size before on bikes identical to mine, but, I am wondering how it might affect such things as handling, ride, speedo, etc????? All input greatly appreciated . Currently I have Dunlop GT501's that I would rate as OK. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
