My mate has given me a tyre from his KTM, he didn't like the feel of them, so changed to another brand.

It's a Conti Sport Attack 120/70/17 ZR (58W), I know the size is correct, but, not sure if it's suitable for my FJ, which has an Avon Azzaro fitted on the back.

What are your thoughts?

If you're ready for a new front, and can do the changing either inexpensively or yourself, why not?  At worst the handling will be a little strange.  I'd expect that it'll be slightly unsteady feeling in a straight line, but very planted when cornering.  At worst, you take it back off and buy a more appropriate tire, and consider the money/time spent putting it on to be a failed gamble.  It's not like the bike will burst into flames and you'll die unloved and alone, y`know.

....that's what happens when you use the wrong oil, everyone knows that.  : :bomb:
