Hey guys i ordered the wrong size in the front on accident a (120 60 zr17) will that still be ok for the bike or should I buy the right size and just sell the wrong sized one?

should be fine, it will provide a stiffer ride, and give more road feedback.

The 60 series will work fine. it will be a little stiffer as far as hitting pot wholes and such. But the tire will work just fine.Live Fast, Die Stupid

Shorter sidewall, it'll be ok, but for ME, I'd like the bike to run like it was designed to, I'd get the correct 70 series.Jesus, family, me. Psalm 121 Red Pill Mille Clip ATGATT

Its a reason why the bike uses a 120/70 instead of 120/60 get the right size and sell the wrong sizesigpicAllan
If you love it, let it go. If it comes back to you, you've high-sided!

Also pre98 kat 600s some of them run a 140 and many opt to a 150. Also how many run stock size tires on their cars? Also I am sure suzuki says replace with same tires that came with the bike.Last edited by BarMatt80; 02-17-2008, 06:03 PM.

My bike came stock with a 120/70. THe tire that came with the bike is the only 120/70 that has ever been on the front. I always run a 120/60. I do it because it gets rid of some unsprung rotating weight. They are a tad stifer. so like i sed before you get more feedback and a lil stiffer front end. But its not any big deal.Live Fast, Die Stupid
