Default 80 profile tyres instead of 70

Will I notice much difference? The bt-45's are only available in a 80's profile from my supplier.

Doubtful you would notice much difference from a handling standpoint... the taller profile will throw your speedo/odometer off a bit. Are you changing both tires to the same model and profile?

Hi All, There is a note in the Honda Service Manual about changing tire size on the bikes equiped with ABS. See manual page 16-23 ABS Problem code 71 incorrect tire size.
Thanks

Hi All Noticed this in Honda Manual about tire size for a ABS equiped bike.
ABS INDICATOR PROBLEM CODE INDEX
• The ABS indicator might blink in the following cases. Correct the faulty part.
– Incorrect tire pressure.
– Tires not recommended for the motorcycle were installed (incorrect tire size).
