Post by: denisb on March 17, 2004, 02:42:05 AM
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.
