I have an 87 cbr 600 hurricane and the rear tire on it now is a 130/80-17 and i wanted to know If I went to a bigger size if I would need a new rim or would the stock rim be able to handle the wider tire. If I went to a 140/70-17 or 150/70-17 and would I have to change any of the electricals to account for the different size. thanks in advance
The problem with going to a wider size is that it is more likely to foul against the swingarm or mudguard, especially at speed. I would guess that a 140/70 would fit but check your clearances are sufficient (remember to compress the suspension too).

the only way that would artwork is that if the one hundred eighty is an over sized tire on the rim. in case you pick for to run a greater narrow tire it fairly is going to likely be somewhat greater artwork than merely switching the tire.
