    New to triumph after 47 years of riding bikes . I have just bought myself a 2014 tiger 800 , had it since Saturday, rode it every day first impressions are favorable, I'm not impressed with the suspension it's a bit like a pogo stick to me so I have booked it into Maxtons to have it fettled. The engine is great , better than I expected, looking forward to years of enjoyment on my new lightweight bike

    Hi Kevin and welcome to the forum, the suspension may have been adjusted by previous owner if he was a big lad or did two up riding mainly, would advise you consult the manual and put everything back to standard, may save you a few bob over going to Maxton?
