Hi, this may have been asked before but my question is would using a 𝟭𝟱𝟬/𝟲𝟬/𝟭𝟳
rear affect the performance of the bike? Safe?

Instead of the standard 150/70/17

Thanks in advance! 🙏🏼

Regarding riding performance i don't expect any difference. The speedometer and odometer will be off by 5% (actual speed lower than indicated).

How would an expert be able to answer even without knowing the model or brand, you didn't even post any picture.

Thinking, it may affect the Automatic Stability Control (ASC). Part of the operation is done by comparing the relative speed of the wheels. A tire of a different size to standard will suggest to the computer that the wheel speeds are different and it should (possibly) intervene. In this case with a smaller rear wheel the computer may think that the back wheel is rotating faster than the front and it should therefore slacken off the throttle to reduce the (computer's perceived) rear wheel spin.

Just a thought....
