Help with rear tyre size

i would def go back to the 180 , thats what was made for the bike. it would be happy with the 180

On the street you won't feel much of a difference. 190 vs 180 deals with the width of the tire, not it's profile so the height difference is much much smaller and no suspension adjustment is probably needed (although always a good idea to dial it in for your personal preferences). I say go ahead and try out the 180 just to give yourself a good reference to how different they feel when turning. You'll realize on the street, not much. If you do feel the difference it would probably be attributed to the fact that it is a new tire, which always feel damn good

oh and

there have been plently of people who switched to 190. they are much happier.

ok , sorry dz i did not know this info. my bike said she liked the 180. so i dunno? i would still choose the 180

What dzuyd said. If you aren't hitting twisties hard or going to the track, I would stick with 180.......and

You'll gain a few hp as well going to a smaller tire. The difference is probably unnoticeable though.
