The Bajaj Pulsar 150 UG4.5 typically comes with a stock rear tire size of 100/90-17. Fitting a larger tire size, such as 130/90-17, may require modifications to your motorcycle to ensure proper fitment and clearance. It's important to note that altering the tire size can affect the overall performance, handling, and safety of your motorcycle.
Here are a few considerations:
Wheel and Swingarm Clearance: A larger tire size may have a wider profile and different dimensions, which can potentially cause clearance issues with the swingarm or wheel well. Ensure that there is enough space for the larger tire to fit without rubbing against any parts of the motorcycle.
Chain and Sprocket Alignment: Changing the tire size can affect the alignment of the chain and sprocket. If the tire is significantly wider, it may require adjustments to ensure proper alignment and prevent issues like chain rubbing or premature wear.
Speedometer and Odometer Accuracy: A larger tire size can affect the accuracy of your speedometer and odometer readings. The difference in tire circumference can lead to inaccurate speed and distance measurements, which can be both inconvenient and potentially illegal.
Suspension and Handling: A larger tire may add extra weight and alter the motorcycle's handling characteristics. It's important to consider the impact on suspension performance and overall ride quality.
To ensure the compatibility and safety of any modifications, it's recommended to consult with a qualified mechanic or a Bajaj authorized service center. They will have the expertise and knowledge to guide you on whether fitting a 130/90-17 rear tire on your Pulsar 150 UG4.5 is feasible and if any modifications or adjustments are necessary.
