Also I probably should have said earlier this video was filmed BEFORE I crashed the GSXR. The damper worked great, pity I didn't spend the money on the rear end too eh 😂

I used to have a steering damper on my old XS 1100. Definitely made it more stable.

Yeah this worked a treat too to be fair. Really stabled up the front end for the track day :)

Another good fitting video. Do try it and report on it please. BMW had them operated by a big knob like a water tap years back. Never saw the point. I raced a friends Ducati which had one and I always felt it killed my feeling for what the front wheel was doing. Only ever had tank slappers on the road. Tracks tend to be smoother, or perhaps I just went too slowly lol.
@TheGorillaBiker3 жыл бұрын
Thanks Stephen! So far very good, actually had it on for the track and just let me push the front end that little bit more I found, no loss of feeling thanks to the RSC setup. You honestly wouldn't notice it. Haha only place I got a few wobbles were pinning it out of corners but they were no fuss with the damper. I'm glad this one doesn't have a big tap knob that's be rotten and I wouldn't like to headbutt it!

With an extension on a torque spanner you under torque Torque loss due to distance but it's a marginal loss

Typically yes but I tested and old one I had before and it consistently torqued higher with the extension....not sure was it just a shoddy torque wrench or not but after snapping a stud on the subframe of a C180 merc........I now dislike using extensions :D
