Would it be OK to replace the front tire with a 150 instead of the stock size 130?

Are there any safety problems there?

The only 150 I found is a 150/80 16, is this the tire your looking at? No safety issue problems, but the aspect ratio means the tire is 20mm wider. I don't see where there would be any clerance problems as it's only 10mm wider on each side. Hope this helps you out.

going with a different size tire will throw off your speedometer and odometer.

I think it might make it closer to true.

Might be why sport bike riders ride wheelies all the time. Saves miles on the odometer. Better for resale. LOL

I seem to recall a few years ago my safety instructor telling me to keep my head up and eyes looking around - not down. So now I'm finding that I'm supposed to look at the speedometer? :shock:

Cheers!
