NO, 170 is about the biggest you can do without modification depending on the tire.

hey kawik, do you have pic's of your bike? Got alot of mod's I've been thinking about getting, the rear huggar, and ermax cowl and the big one the Gear indicator. Was curious how you mounted that indicator the most! Thanks!

The Ninja I bought for the track had a 170 on it. I pulled it and put it on my needed-a-new-tire Versys (same size rear rim), and it was a ***** to get on.

The 160 size is a fine track rear for a fairly stock Ninja.

You might be able to get a 190 on the rim, but you won't get it into the swingarm.

Don't fit a too large tire to the stock rim unless you plan to change the rim (that is designed for a 190) and the tire together. While you can still fit the tire to your stock rim the tire will not shape properly which might be dangerous when cornering and also might cause uneven tire wear.

^^ Yup, plus the bead of the tire won't seat properly. The tire will be too bulged to make a good contact.

I'm pretty sure that shouldn't have made any difference to your speedo. The sensor is located in or near the gearbox, and since I'm assumeing you haven't changed the gearing on your bike, there shouldn't be any physical difference.
Hopefully someone can confirm that for me, or correct me if I am wrong, I don't mind either way!!!

your wrong...when you change the diameter of the tire you change the number of revolutions in a given distance which will affect your actual speedometer since it only reads the revolutions n the gearbox-sprocket

i can vouch for that i had a 160zr17 on my bike stock my speedo was off 5 mph i then put a 170zr17 on my bike now speedo is only of 2mph

We threw a 170 on my friends SV650S and it felt weird riding it (turn in) afterwards. I admit a 190 looks sick, and all my previous bikes had them, but I bet handling would be very odd on the 650
