Default need advice

can i put a 67H tire on my 200 883 that has a 73H tire on it from factory? The load rating is the only difference. I have never had a passenger and I do not plan on having one until I feel completely comfortable.

Thanks

you can use any tire you want as long as it is the same size. If you start changing sizes then you might end up with clearance issues and need to change your swingarm

I read this link above & although the link doesn't show a load rating for a 67H , my gut tells me that you should be OK, if as you say, you only ride solo - unless of course you are one seriously overweight individual.
