Did that once with my 2008 SP800. I was test Big Horn tires which run bigger to size. Was a great choice IMO since I did not want to go any larger.

Stock is 26" and you want to downsize to 25". Should be no problem at all. You wont get belt slip and your belt should last longer with the lighter load and you should not have to worry about upgrading your clutch. Most people upgrade there tires and have to keep these things in mind
