19" Front Tire

 

I musta been half asleep when I ordered the last set of tires, or
whoeverthefuck I bought them from screwed up, and ended up with a 90/90-19
for the front instead of a 100/90-19. (Guess I should looked at them more
closely when I bought them, months ago.)

Should I just use it?
Will it throw off my speedo?

Thanks. I got this round,

Doubt you'd even notice it unless you looked at the numbers on the sidewall.
Not to worry, another 20,000 miles or so and you can be rid of it.

Don't know what year your bike is, so I don't know if it drives the
speedo from teh tranny or the front wheel.  Either way if it's off,
it'll probably be off by less than the built in error anyhow.

A slightly narrower front tire of the same diameter and circumference will
alter the speedo? Really?

Uh uh. The section height is 90% of the width for both. They're not the
same width, so there's a difference in the circumference too. Not much
of one, and I sure wouldn't worry about the difference, but they're not
the same.
