My bandit currently has 120 70 17 on the front…Is it possible to put a 120 60 17 instead. thanks
Morning!
It would fit but the lower aspect ratio means the profile is lower and would make it tip in quicker.
Not sure if it would compromise the stability though.
My advice would be to stick with what you know works mate:cool:
As Chunkmeister says, It will make the bike steer a little quicker into the corners. Just what a Bandit needs;)
Personally I wouldn’t hesitate putting a 60 profile tyre on a Bandit but would also try to put a matching rear on too so the bike handles well.
Yes you can mate) do it you will love it
OK thanks for the advice…the bike originally came with 120 70 17 in front and 160 60 17 at the back and I kept this combination…I am getting some sets at good price of 120 60 17 and 160 60 17 combination…and was thinking to my self they should fit but I better as you guys, thanks
As Chunky says, it will probably quicken the steering and might make it feel like a different bike. Not a bad thing with a 600/650 Bandit, very odd steering characteristics. Very safe, just odd.
Take it a bit carefully to start with. (You should be doing that for the first couple of hundred antway.)
