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 :wink: ). 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.
