Question for the masterminds here. I kinda made an oops when ordering new tires for my 1982 KZ750H LTD. If I am calculating correctly, the stock tire size converts to a 110/90-19. I inadvertently ordered a 100/90-19. I was going to just return the tire and order the correct size, but then noticed that the Kendra Cruisers aren't available in the 110/90-19 size.

Am I going to crash and burn if I just go with the 100/90-19? Or will I not even notice a difference? I'm assuming I honestly won't notice any difference. I'm a novice rider with 100 street miles under my belt. Only replacing the tires as they are over 10 years old.

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure the 100/90-19 tire you got is correct. assuming the stock wheel.
Partzilla shows that the 750H uses a 3.25 x 19 Fr tire which corresponds to 100/90-19.
DunlopMotorcycleTires lists a MM90-19 Fr tire for the 750H: MM90 = 100/90.

Thank you. I think where I actually got confused is that the bike currently has a 110/90-19 tire on the front. But yes, Checking again, 3.25-19 converts over to a 100/90-19.

I think I'll keep what I have in that case. I currently have the front wheel off the bike to replace the fork seals and wanted to replace the front tire while I had it off.

Thanks again!

Kind of related. The speedometer drive unit probably needs to be cleaned & lubricated, but you should get a new oil seal before doing the job. The oil seal may be available from the dealer. All-Balls-Racing wheel bearing kits include the seals. When servicing mine, I did not remove the pinion gear as there is a roll pin holding it in place >> so I just sprayed copious amounts of solvent then blew it dry with compressed air. then just kind of force fed the pinion with marine waterproof grease. The speedo gear is easily accessible after removing the seal. It's a very easy job but probably overlooked.
