My other question involves tyres. The Ninja came with Dunlop 501 bias ply tyres. Are radial tyres recommended? I would suspect that they would perform better and would last longer. Also, could one go a size wider and get better traction, especially in the wet. I know that this is a lot to lay on you, but this is the first bike I have owned with an electric starter, no kick starter, directionals, tubeless tyres, and wheels you don`t need a spoke wrench for. All is not lost. I still know how to adjust carbs (another reason I bought a non FI bike) I can still replace a clutch, cables,etc. I do plan to get a shop manual for my bike.
