Should I change tyre size on ninja 250?

Hey all,

The previous owner has installed 150/70 rear tyre on my ninja (up from 130/70). The tyres are crap so I'm putting a decent pair on, my question is should I leave the more aesthetically pleasing tyre on or return to the smaller one?

Any thoughts on how the change in size affects handling?

Thanks!

Up sizing for the look of it should be reserved for wankers on harleys & choppers :roll:
Your bike might not handle better in fact it could make it worse!

Stick with the OEM size

What Rob said..... Kawasaki probably spent quite a bit of chaff working out the right tyre for your bike and I reckon they probably got it right.
