Front Fork Springs and Shock.

[atokad]

I had a local guy rework my front forks.  Best $$ I have spent on the bike.  Can't remember exactly what springs he put in there, but I know they were not progressive coil springs.  He put in a set of Race Tech Emulators and adjusted per my weight (250 lb with gear).  I had to raise the tubes in the triple clamps about .25" when I got them back on the bike, but it made a HUGE improvement.

I can lift the front wheel a couple 3' in the air and when it comes back down it's amazing how well it lands.  I had a KTM 450 EXC that had the forks reworked for my weight too, and the Tiger is obviously not quite the same, but I would compare the dampening and rebound on it very close to the KTM.

Now I don't even bother to avoid pot holes with the front wheel anymore.  The rear shock is a bit of a different story.  I have a Hyperpro, that I think can be "tuned" in a lot better, but I regret not getting the remote adjustment.  I need to get that added on to the shock, but that guy in Idaho I bought the shock from, shocked us all and is no longer available on this forum, at least.  Some of you may know the big foot fella I am referring to.
