Front suspension modification inquirie

[denisb]

Hello,



Since I don't find a specific forum to ask about this ! Here I come !!

I have 2003 Tiger and I find that the front suspension is too soft ! Everytime I ahve to made a "emergency"  braking Is like all the tiger plunge on the asphalt !

You could try replacing the OEM springs and fork oil with good aftermarket (stiffer) springs and/or thicker oil, such as:



Hagon (cheapish, not bad at all)

WP (good)

Hyperpro (comfy/sporty)

˜hlins (yummie)

etc.



Basically anything's better than your OEM springs (yes, I know I said differently in another topic   ). If you're not happy, replacing is your only option, really.



If you're really commited (or just plain rich), you could replace the whole front end with some pukka forks, such as:



Marzocchi

Paioli

˜hlins (yummie  :P )



However, you could start with thicker oil (cheapest option)  :D

"EMERGENCY BRAKING"? with all due respect, some Advanced Training might be a cheaper alternative for starters. It's true, there are some wonderful modifications available as an alternative to the OE suspension, but if this is a regular occurrence then maybe your riding style needs looking at.

As Brock said certainley you need to look at your rideing style,took me a while to make sure i always went back brake first to get the bike to squat,so it reduces the front end dive,but even i got fed up in the end and went Ohlin springs and 15wt fork oil.
