    As for mounting Pilot Powers for highway riding, that will be a very expensive albeit short lived mistake.
    90% of motorcycle forum members do not have a service manual for their bike.

      Yep - a 150/70. Not a 150/60.

        Im not worried about the rear tire size, as I said, the 60 on the back right now is at least 1/2 inch taller than the 70 I was riding on being wore out. The bike has never riden better(sense I got it im march). I see that the scx600&750F have a 70 on the rear and the 750 bandit comes with a 60 on the rear. As much highway riding as I do, Looks Ill be getting a new tire by July-August anyway, thats kinda sad.

          Absolute max tread depth you would have had was 1/4". So you are still >1/4" lower - and getting lower each ride. It's your ride - just offering info. What you do with it is completely your choice.
