Hey guys, trying to find a good rear tyre for the RG150. The OEM size it takes is 110/90 but I can get my hands on a wholesale priced 120/80.

Do you guys reckon their would be considerable handling changes with this?

I reckon it'll feel different in terms of how easily it leans in, but traction will be fine. Are you running used supersport fronts? They are so cheap and so grippy.

Don't do it , oem is 100/90 17 but really hard to find , hence why most have 110s on , a 120 will pull in too much and reduce contact patch .
