    I have a 2021 Triumph Tiger GT Pro. I rarely take it off pavement and it has Metzler Tourance Next tires.

    If I use the front brake in a turn the bike doesn't respond well. The front end dives and it feels bit unhinged at the handle bars. On my 17 FJR ES I don't have this problem. Granted using brakes mid turn is less than but I have been riding FJRs for 15 years so bad habits are hard to break and who doesn't over cook a turn once in a while?

    The KTech springs are straight rate (6.5Nm) std Tiger is 4.75Nm, so it is much stiffer.

    The shock preload is in the minimum position even with luggage and it seems fine but the front end seems soft. I weigh 230 pounds before riding gear.

    As the front end feels softer than the rear the KTech spring might bring some balance to the motorcycle.

    Anybody try these on the Tiger?

    Any suggestions and comments are welcome.
