Standard size should be 150/70- ZR17. Remember fitting a wider tyre could result in a smaller contact patch at high lean angles.You really need to check out what the actual rim sizes are on the wheels that you have. If you do want to go for a wider tyre, I wouldn't go for any larger than a 160/70. Also check that it doesn't grind/rub on the swingarm after fitting.Check out these articles. They may sway your decision on wether or not to go for a wider tyreTyre Widthhttp://www.steelthundercc.com/tiresizes.htmlRim Sizeshttp://www.sportrider.com/tech/tires/146_0206_tire_size/index.html
