  • Confirm rim diameter 17″, and ensure your bike’s rear wheel, swingarm and speedometer calibration align with this size.

  • Always check current model year fitment charts (some models/bikes may require alternate sizes).

Installation Notes:

  • Proper installation by qualified technician recommended; adhere to correct tire mounting orientation, torque specs and balance.

  • After installation, check tire pressure when cold and again after first few miles of riding.

  • Be aware of the recommended replacement interval and inspect for tread wear, damage or irregular wear.

  • For best performance, match with a properly rated front tire size and construction.

Important Safety Info:
Use only tires that meet motorcycle manufacturer’s recommended size, speed rating and construction. Improper tire choice or mixing tire sizes/manufacturers can adversely affect stability and handling, and may lead to serious injury.
