A search hasn't revealed an answer to this, so....
Has anyone fitted a 150/70 x 17 rear tyre on their F650 GS, in place of the OE 140/80 x 17 ?
Having done the figures, it's only 2.1% smaller in circumference so the gearing change will be negligible. So I'm interested in whether or not the extra 10 mm in width will raise any clearance issues and how it might feel on the road, as I'd anticipate that it would slow the rate of turn slightly. That's assuming that a 150 will fit on the rear rim, in the first place.
