The Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 comes with a stock tire size of 100/80-17 for the front and 130/70-17 for the rear. While it is technically possible to install a 150-width tire on the rear of your 2018 Pulsar RS, there are a few factors to consider before making such a modification:
Fitment: Check the clearance between the tire and various components of the bike, such as the swingarm, chain, and suspension. A wider tire may rub against these parts, potentially causing damage or affecting the bike's performance.
Handling and stability: Changing the tire size can impact the bike's handling characteristics. A wider tire may alter the bike's balance and responsiveness, which could affect your overall riding experience.
Legal and safety considerations: It's important to ensure that any modifications you make comply with local regulations and do not compromise your safety or the safety of others on the road. Verify with local authorities or consult a professional to ensure that fitting a wider tire is permitted.
Warranty implications: Installing a tire size that is not recommended by the manufacturer may void your warranty. Make sure to review your warranty terms and conditions or consult with a Bajaj dealership for clarification.
Considering these factors, it is advisable to consult with a knowledgeable mechanic or a Bajaj dealership before proceeding with any modifications to ensure that the chosen tire size is safe, legal, and compatible with your bike's specifications.
