Frequently asked
What tire size does a Kawasaki VN 800 Classic use?
GarageDex's powersports data shows the Kawasaki VN 800 Classic runs a 130/90-H16 front tire and a 140/90-H16 rear tire. Tire sizes vary by year - see the table for each range.
What do the tire numbers mean?
A size like 130/90-H16 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 800 Classic tire sizes change by year?
Yes - fitment differs across the years we cover: 2004 runs 130/90-H16 front / 140/90-H16 rear; 2002 runs 80/90-16 front / 140/90-16 rear; 2001 runs 130/90-H16 front / 140/90-H16 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.
