    Stock is a 120/90-18; you can go to a 130 and that's about it.

    Why? It's the OE replacement for the Kawasaki W650. (Period.)

    You'd be better off with Spitfires or Battlax BT45s if you want to go Bridgestone; plus you can get the correct (or a slightly wider) size.

    I would stick with a 90-aspect ratio tire, or you may run into swingarm/driveshaft clearance issues. 120/90 or 130/90.
