The tiger came for revenge

Hi again. Been busy lately with work. Didn't have much time to go out riding with the KLR.
Then the tiger came back. This time with a vengeance.
It started of with fostering the tiger from the workshop as they were in the midst of moving to a new place. Day became weeks, and now it has been with me ever since. I am not complaining...I will definitely enjoy it more this time around since we have been introduced before. Starting up the engine greeted me like purring. The weight shows more stability than being clumsy. The seat must have been lowered I thought to myself.

The smell of heated steel fills the nostrils as I engaged first gear. The sureness clanking sound of the gears indicates that all sytems go. Glided the clutch leaver and twisting the throttle ever so slightly, only to leviate how smooth the machine was trying to keep all ponies at bay. The power was not there ?%@?

Just as I thought, traction control was on at the highest setting.and the suspensions were set to hard. Being on bumpy wet roads, It would lose traction often to initiate safe traction when i try to squeeze out of a corner.or even straights.
Setups can make a lot of different, either you live with it and adjust yourself or in this case with the tiger, every thing is adjustable. I choose the safe settings. Let the machine decide if I was to save myself from myself. Soften the suspensions a bit, and keep the rubber side down.

I would want to elaborate more but my mental capacity forbids me. Need to do more research on suspension settings before verbally gunning it in. else , bbull shitt would be polluting these pages..

Mental note.
Respect the power. Be in control, and never assume. Always commit and let the fun begin.
