Lots of sportbikes come with a steering damper from the factory, and for those that don’t, plenty of people add them as an accessory. But what do steering dampers do, and do you need one on your motorcycle? I’ll explain in this video from the MC Garage.

I wheelie a lot I hope this helps
Discuss slipping the forks through the top yolk to improve “stance” kinda rolls nicely on from steering dampers. A lot of people don’t realise the pro/ cons of this mod and it’s effect of steering geometry/ rake.
Can I fix this damper in my Kawasaki ER6N
How do you recover from a tank slapper or wobble? Or, at least, how can you attempt to recover, amid trying to not panic?
Thanks.

Thanks
Didn’t know Ryan Gosling have a YT channel XD
Can you still get tank slappers even with a steering damper installed?
it is not for me, I ride a scooter and never beyond 50 Km/h
I have a 250cc motorcycle i have recently experienced tankslapper when i jumped over a speed breaker….
Should i install a damper??
Cbr 954 needs it badly
Need one bad 03 r6 and there still $600. Holy frig.
Hi will a battery be charged if its on idle or do we actually have to reach a specific rpm for it to start charging?
Did you install a steering damper to your RC390?
I wish he would do a vid with his shirt off
i’m about to get a middle weight naked sport bike, but none of them have dampners i don’t think :/
Is hydraulic clutch better than standard clutch.
Just say speed wobble
can you interchange dampers for a 600 srad? like a stock xxx will fit
i used to get tank slappers on my 883 sportster all the time. It was my first bike and I had no clue why it happened, i guess it was mildly torquey.
My Scotts damper on my cbr954 saves me all the time on track. My cbr600 doesn’t have one and I’ve gotten a tank slapper so bad once that my caliper pistons retracted into the calipers and I had to pump the brakes for the next corner. But I got ‘er slowed right down and ripped the corner with only a little skid mark. In my suit.
How ti break in new motorcycle?
Thanks dude for this information.
An R6 sure as hell needs one!
god id love one too bad there 700 bucks
I would like one for slow speeds on my Harley. When I am making a turn at slow speed it sometimes wants to drop over in that direction. I would like a little resistance so I don’t lay it over.
great work… thanks for video.
Motorcyclist Magazine can you please make a video explaining the importance of new engine break in?
