FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

The Ninja 1100SX uses a 120/70 ZR17 M/C (58W) front tyre and a 190/50 ZR17 M/C (73W) rear tyre.

Yes. The Ninja 1100SX uses tubeless radial tyres on 17-inch wheels.

Premium sport-touring tyres are generally the best fit because they balance grip, mileage, wet performance, comfort, and high-speed stability.

The OEM 190/50 ZR17 rear size is recommended for preserving the motorcycle's designed handling and chassis behaviour.

Replace tyres when tread reaches the wear indicators, grip deteriorates, or cuts, cracks, bulges, or other structural damage appears.
