Frequently asked
What tire size does a Kawasaki VN 1700 Light Tourer use?
GarageDex's powersports data shows the Kawasaki VN 1700 Light Tourer runs a 130/90-B16 front tire and a 170/70-B16 rear tire. Tire sizes vary by year - see the table for each range.
What do the tire numbers mean?
A size like 130/90-B16 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 VN 1700 Light Tourer tire sizes change by year?
Yes - fitment differs across the years we cover: 2015-2016 runs 130/90-B16 front / 170/70-B16 rear; 2011 runs 130/90-B16 front / 170/70-B16 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.
