i just wondered
the standard size on the arse end of an RVF400 is a 150/60 - 17
are there any other sizes that would fit a rear rvf wheel without any modification or changes needing to be made?

Re: rear tyre - size question
As Derek has said the 160 will fit on the rim but depending on tyre mfg it might distort a little / you may have chain clearance issues.
It seems to be a personal thing as some people really dont like the feel of the 160 while otheres dont notice any difference?

Re: rear tyre - size question
Then go with the 150.
