    How stable is the front end of the Tiger 800 when climbing? I have been climbing a hill/mountain on my family farm on ATV, UTV, and motorcycles my whole life. Every bike has been an off road bike. Some of the slopes are well over 100% grade. Anybody have any experience taking a Tiger up steep grades like that? I'm not worried about power or traction, more interested how the bike is balanced while climbing. Is it light in the front to the point where it's unsettled?

    Hi Jake, I have a Tiger 800 but don't do any off road work. Slopes of over 100% would mean an over vertical rise - ie: angled back at yourself - in which case that is some feat. The best climber I had was a honeysuckle - it was persistent, aggressive, long lived, carried a beautiful aroma and did not require oil changes. Not entirely relevant but at least I've answered your post. ATB
