Hello All! I’m sorta new to riding, I’ve been riding a cruiser for the last 10 years and just upgraded to a 2012 Tiger 800 XC. Just went for a ride up to Mt Baker, and I’m liking the feel of the Tiger. I’m hoping to glean tips and ideas from the group.

I’m already liking the change. There was a little getting used to the higher center of gravity, but I like the lighter weight and better visibility.

Correct, be careful with the front brake at very low parking lot speed.I try to use rear brake only for that stuff but very hard to remember to carry out the plan . Probably a common
, tall ,narrow front tired bike issue. Brooke
