In this video I install a KRT kit composed of a Ohlins steering damper on 2023 zx6r. I briefly discuss why dampers are important and history of them on the ZX6r. I go through a short list of tools needed and importance of using a torque wrench. Below is a link to purchase this kit directly from Kawasaki.

My instructions say the washer goes under the end of the damper connected to the handle bars, the plastic washer and collar go under the center damper on the bracket to the gas tank. Tightened to 97 inch lbs

I used your video to help me install instead of the instructions lol. But I dropped the washer down into my bike and almost the plastic piece but I held onto it! Lol. Rip washer

I have the 2013 zx6r along with yss steering damper, I’m not sure if it use m6 or m8 bolt (along with the thread length - i dont know the required length) on the damper clamp to install quadlock phone mount.

I added the GPR Steering Damper V5. I think it looks clean compared to a rod on there, IMO. I added to both my ZX6R and ZX10R ( took off electronic dampner to add the GPR V5.)

Yea, GPR makes good stuff!

@rogervega9846 Жыл бұрын

I assume you had to either slice a piece of the key in order to get clearance w/ the GPR? Or did you purchase the entire kit that includes the GPR clip on kit?

Just installed this exact one on my 2024. Couldn’t help but notice my instructions say to use the washer for the other bolt connecting to the bracket. So just the collars on the center and the washer for the other T40 bolt. Might want to check yours.

Can you post a video on your experience riding with the damper installed?

@NoBSZone Жыл бұрын

I could but it would not reflect a lot of what they do. The damper will take away the harsh slap that can happen...and well with it in place that won't happen.

The torque is same for bolt regardless of adding the ram ball or not

They stop putting them in 2004 and 2005. This was due the extra wheel balancer In the fork that was inputted and they believed it didn't need it. I rode without one for years but sad to say had a few close calls. The zx6rr had 1 but it was a add on

@NoBSZone Жыл бұрын

Wheel balancer in fork??

@Cbrmansc77 Жыл бұрын

@@NoBSZone ya it was in the fork mounts apparently in 05. It didn't make much sence to me when I asked a tech about it one time but apparently that's what kawasaki engineered. But it did nothing when there was an emergency wheel hobble but for small vibrations it worked acceptable. But I loved my 05 636 andni had alot of good memories. But great video man I think you did a great job with the step by step instructions.

@NoBSZone Жыл бұрын

@@Cbrmansc77 You.had someone feed you a line of BS. I been rebuilding forks for 25+ years...no such thing. Consensus is dampers were removed as a cost cutting measure as the 600 Supersport class demise and kawi less involved in support of the class. The mounting points are still present to add the damper to all models.
