    The HP2 Rear SM Wheel is 4.5" and can take a 150 series dual sport or 160 series sport tire

    Do you mean by 150 or 160 the width in mm?

    I bought a 180/55 ZR 15 tire for my HP2 motard and it is squeaking against the swingarm. Am thinking will shave 2mm off the right hand side of the tire and use it. What do you think?

    Someone told me this is standard procedure for 180mm tires.
