14t front sprocket, Galfer front rotors, Madstad windscreens (large and small), get suspension tuned, and then keep the Tiger and buy a KTM Exe-f for the real dirt trails.
@@TimsMotorcycleAdventures I love the suspension on the late model GS 1250s, and I would take a GSA on bumpy paved roads down, Mexico Way. But they are big heavy bikes and when the front wheel looses traction life get real exciting and expensive quickly. Find the YT posts that illustrate who to keep the rear shaft splines well lubed and all should be good. :)
My buddy dumped his pulling out of his driveway. It stalled suddenly just as he took off and slammed down. When I rode it I stalled it seversl times. I figured it is just that I'm not used to it.
Yah, you need to give it more gas than other bikes. You get used to it pretty quickly, and you can always change the front sprocket to help with that too.
@@TimsMotorcycleAdventures Just a little different from my Hondas. I still want one. Smooth and powerful on the road. I have a hard time keeping up on my old Wing. The bike that was replaced with the Tiger was an '01 Legend 3 cylinder carbureted. Still runs perfect and no oil burning after 100,000 miles.
Good video! Keep doing it.
I am searching for a Tiger 800 in Alberta.
Thanks for watching. The Tiger is a great bike, I got mine from Alberta too.
Totally agree on the low speed stall bit. I have dropped mine twice when pulling away when heavily loaded for touring.
When it's all loaded up you do need more throttle and clutch slip than when it's unloaded.
Greate evaluation of my dream bike🙂
Great review!!
Might get this as a first bike (I’m a adult kid)

All good options, but I went to the dark side and bought a BMW 😬
