Per,
My Tiger had a bit of a downhill aspect for some time. It turned out the
rubber spring isolators in the front had broken down. This is probably more
common than the actual springs breaking/compressing, although that is also
possible. The isolators are just rubber "doughnuts" that cup the springs on
top, and they are relatively cheap. They aren't too hard to change, but some
sort of spring compressor is definitely advisable. I managed it without, but
it was scary. You'll want to replace these anyway if you replace the
springs, so it won't be money wasted.

Has anyone experienced that the Tiger assumes a nose down posture after
putting on new leafsprings ?
Well, as you can guess I have. Is it a clue to that I probaly should put new
springs in the front ?
I don4t know if it4s my imagination but it feel more nervous on the road
especially when shifting gears under hard acceleration and breaking hard.
