The standard size for the rear is 130/80-17, so you're very close to standard. What size was on there before? Don R100, A6F

Not really. The KLR has enough room to let me pack a reasonable tool kit, as well as a couple of changes of underwear. I wouldn't be cutting my tools back that much unless I were already down to a single spare pair of skivvies.
