    would you bet your life that the tyre is not going to blow out at 120...i know i wouldnt...for the peace of mind alone i think i would change it...some here might say dont it will be fine, but they are not the ones riding the thing or the people who will suffer the consequences if it does blow dramatically at speed..

    I dont think a motorbike would steer or ride very well with only 1 tyre inflated.

    You allready know the answer to this question....CHANGE IT.

    What's worse is there's loads of life left in that tyre! Makes you feel like you were robbed when you need to replace it.

    As above, sidewall damage gets replaced. Not worth it.
