Graeme.... the 19" front probably has a lot to do with it. Probably the reason the new 1050 comes with a 17" front. I haven't done any suspension mods like some of the other Tiger riders, but I do run the front tire with a pound or two more air pressure than I used to; and it helps a bit. A more sport-style tire would probably be more help.
