I have had my 1997 900rr for about two months now.. I just barely replaced my rear tire with what was previously on it, a pilot power. It's about time to replace my front tire but the problem is I have no idea how to go about that. I don't really understand tire sizes. My front tire is a bridgestone hypersport. The number I assume to be the size are 130/70z, Which is odd because all the tire sizes I can find for this bike are 120/70z. Can somebody enlighten me?

I have pilots on my bike (i still have the 16 inch rim on the front) and love them! I used to have dunlop... the michelin are better IMO

Good Luck!!

 

Didnt kno michelin made the pilot in a 16"?? Just got a metzler sportech m3 for $100 shipped! & i really like it had great grip & feedback. I run a pilot pow on rear, good combination for great price!

 

I have Pirelli Diablos front and rear.
Looked for the same but seems to only be available in U.K.
Went down to the local Honda shop and they directed me to Metzlers, which I guess is made by the same complany...
My front is a 130/70 ZR 16, which I'm going to replace with the same size but Metzler.
Cost from the dealership was only about $10 more than if I bought it online, paid shipping, and took it to the same dealer to have installed.
Decided to go through the dealer, was just easier and worth the extra $10.
