I would think that will be in your owners handbook? Do you have the original tyre on the bike, if so it will be written on the sidewall. Failing that someone will call by soon!

I think you would need MU 90B16 for rear and MT 90B16 for front.

Those are the sizes for the Dunlop Elite 3's. The stock Dunlop 402's are MU 85 B16 rear and MU 90b16 front. Sorry I left that out on other reply.

FWIW, I'm on my 3rd or 4th set of Elite 3's, and I highly recommend them. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised from the D402's. They handle better in rain, on groves, in corners, and they wear better. Pretty much all around a better tire. Many folks here running them. Do a search, and you should get some good poop on them as long as you're due for a change.

Had great mileage and traction from E3. Just ordered new set, MU is for Rear, MT is front. Great tires in rain and dry road with groves or tar patches.

MU is rear. MT is front. Just bought mine from jakewilson.com . They had the best price I could find out there.
