Can I put a 120/17 70 on an R6?

Nobody is saying he'll spontaneously combust. But the change in the bike's handling isn't worth the risk. This idea that he'll never notice the difference just because he's a new or crappy rider is ridiculous. It changes everything.

An experienced rider would be mature enough to ride carefully while adjusting to the new handling. Will your brother in law do the same? Being that he's just a college kid, I doubt it.

And even if you tried to compensate by dropping the fork tubes, would you even know how much to do so?

Can't this guy afford $100-120 for a new front tire? Jesus.
