Yea that is the factory size but I went up to the 190/50/17 because the bike is the same size as the 1k and that is what it has on it plus I like that thicker tire look....

10mm would make a difference? I mean the 1k comes with it and it is basically the same size bike ...

it's more the profile of the tire than the width.
