Outer diameter of the 130/90/15 is about the same of the 130/70/17, perhaphs a couple milimeters of diference. I don't think rear tyre size change made a difference in bike's handling.
On the other hand, a couple members here myself included had in fact changed tyre size, either back with a higher profile, or the front, I have a 19', Spud a 21', and I don't think I noted that much of a change in handling either.
The RX3 was always surpisingly stable, not only for a bike relatively tall, but even in absolute terms.
