110/70 front tyre

[Rob969]

Just been looking into new tyres for my bike, (first time since i got it) and have found that the front isn't the standard size. What difference does having this tyre have on the bike and should i change it for the same size or get a standard one. thanks

Standard size, as you likely now know, is 120/60-17, many people have tried a 120/70-17 with, generally speaking, no great benefit or deficit, a 110/70-17 is too tall, too narrow and quite a departure from the standard.
I wouldn't fit another 110/70, get a standard 120/60.

Sure your front wheel is stock?

as far as i know

just been and had a look and as far as i can tell its stock. Never checked the tyre size since i bought the bike from a dealer, skip mentioned it on a ride out a few months ago but it completely slipped my mind to check it out
