Kawasaki Versys 650 tyre FAQs
What tyre size does a Kawasaki Versys 650 use?+
The Kawasaki Versys 650 uses 120/70-17 at the front and 160/60-17 at the rear. Check the size on your current tyres or in the owner's manual before you order.
How much do tyres for a Kawasaki Versys 650 cost?+
120/70-17 fronts start at R1 435 and 160/60-17 rears start at R1 800, per tyre in stock today. The cheapest front and rear together cost R3 235. The cheapest matching pair of one tyre model is the Dunlop GPR 300 at R3 630. Fitting is usually extra. Prices change weekly.
Can I fit a different tyre size on my Kawasaki Versys 650?+
Stick to the sizes the manufacturer approves for your bike and wheels. A different width or profile changes how the bike steers and leans, and can upset the ABS and traction control. Never mix radial and bias-ply tyres unless the manufacturer allows it.
Should I replace both Kawasaki Versys 650 tyres at the same time?+
Not always. Rear tyres usually wear out before fronts, so many riders replace the rear more often. If you replace only one, fit the same tyre model as the other end so the pair is designed to work together.
