Frequently asked
What tire size does a Kawasaki GPZ 500 S use?
GarageDex's powersports data shows the Kawasaki GPZ 500 S runs a 110/70-H17 front tire and a 130/70-H17 rear tire. Tire sizes vary by year - see the table for each range.
What do the tire numbers mean?
A size like 110/70-H17 reads as tread width (mm) / aspect ratio (% of width) - rim diameter (in). Match all three so the tire fits the rim and clears the swingarm and fender.
Do the Kawasaki GPZ 500 S tire sizes change by year?
Yes - fitment differs across the years we cover: 2001 runs 110/70-H17 front / 130/70-H17 rear; 1999 runs 110/70-17 front / 130/70-17 rear; 1990-1992 runs 100/90-16 front / 120/90-16 rear. Match your exact year in the table.
Can I fit a different tire size?
Stick to the stock size - it's matched to the rim width, speedometer, and handling. A wider tire can rub the swingarm or fender and throws off the speedo, so only deviate on a shop's advice.
