Random question for ya, I’ve had a gt pro for couple of months now. Changed the tourance tyres to Avon spirits. Still feel that it slightly squirms under me a lot of the time. I hear guys saying how sure footed they feel so I’m wondering if it’s just me?

@40mosher What bike did you have before the Tiger? Could be just needing to get used to the narrower front profile tyre. I find mine very sure footed, but I've noticed the front tyre has tiny chicken strips as compared to the rear. Also depending on your riding style you may benefit from getting the front suspension set for your rider sag, and then dial in the settings to suit.

@@40mosher CB1000r has a wider rear and front tyre. Also 17" at both ends as opposed to the 19/17" combo of the Tiger. Took me a while to get used to the tyre sizes on the Scrambler 1200 I had, when I changed from the CBF1000F. Also could be a change of riding position as well, with the Tiger being more upright. What age and mileage is your Tiger? Could always try a test ride of a dealers demo Tiger to compare to yours, just for peace of mind.

@40mosher Wow, 1900m on a 20 plate, I've put nearly 3000m on mine already. They do tip in well, without much input into the bars. But they do hold a line well. What rear suspension settings do you have? I tend to run preload as by the settings, so if I'm solo it's solo rider. The damping I have set a few up from normal, so closer to sport. I only use comfort when doing longer straight roads or motorways. It does sound like you just need to get used to the different riding style of the bike, and maybe just have a try with different suspension settings for the rear shock. If you do really think something may be off with the bike, get it into a dealer or specialist for a health check, as it's always best to be safe than sorry.
