i have just got some new tryes for my curvy. when they turned up i noticed that the tyre size is 120/70/17 for the front and 160/60/17 for the rear. will this effect the bike at all as the front tyre i have on at the moment is 120/60/17. thanks

Do a search, this was discussed in some detail on here quite recently.

Do a search if you want the ins and outs, but the important thing here is that both 60 and a 70 section can be fitted to the SV without any safety issues.

Personally and for my usage, I much prefer the 60 for the road! :?
