This is a MUST HAVE upgrade if you own a Yamaha R6. Shout out to GPR for sending me this one to install for you guys! This is a quality product and looks awesome on the bike! The R6's don't come with a stabilizer and if you want to have some piece of mind I highly recommend this stabilizer by GPR.

I would love to see a controlled experiment - (before/after) - where a bike gets a tanks slapper on a particular road, then you install the stablilizer, and go over the same road - to demonstrate the actual difference it made.

If I put a dampener, does that mean I can’t use my quad lock cus of the fork stem already used?

@itsmeericb Жыл бұрын

Yes unfortunately you won’t be able to. But I’ve seen some other finding ways to put a clamp on the clip on so they can still have their phone. May have to do a KZfaq or Google search.

@johnthomas2485 2 жыл бұрын

How does that one work? I've only seen the ones that look like miny shocks.

@itsmeericb 2 жыл бұрын

It uses hydraulic valving and fluid inside of the stabilizer itself to absorbs shock through the forks. The higher you set it the stiffer it becomes. Just becomes tough to turn during slow maneuvers like U turns, so you’d want to have it set lower.

What are the differences in the gpr and a piston stabilizer like the ohlins one?

@itsmeericb 2 жыл бұрын

In my opinion just the design really. And how they are mounted. Not to mention price. Ohlins can be up to $200 more than the GPR. Also The GPR is easier to adjust and supposedly offers more dampening.

@seanx9 6 ай бұрын

if you're using a phone mount like quad lock where'd you put it if you install the stabilizer?

@itsmeericb 6 ай бұрын

You either can’t use one or you can mount it in a different location such as the handle bar. I’ve seen people do it before. You just have to get a different mount.

@all4christnofilter915 2 жыл бұрын

I have this same set up on my bike. So when I went to change my engine filter, during reinstalling the GPR unit, I think I stripped one of the screws. When I try to tighten the screw, there’s some resistance and if I keep turning, it slips. Do I have to purchase a new frame you think?

@itsmeericb 2 жыл бұрын

Oh man… the screw that goes into the tank and frame at the top?

No, drill it out bigger. And put a threaded plug into it, and use a bolt to match the new threads

@itsmeericb Ай бұрын

Depends on the rider. Try each setting and see what feels more comfortable to you. More stiff and harder to turn or softer and easier to turn.

@Gy_279 Жыл бұрын

But which is the right number? Like 4, 5?

Depends. I’d say about 4 or so. Not too stiff for the street but also not so soft to where it’s not doing much.

I can’t remember but I think I left mine on 4. It really depends on what you are comfortable with. Some like a more loose feeling while others like a more stiff feel. Just normal street riding you shouldn’t need it to be super tight.

No the R6 does not come with one standard. If your bike already has one, they are usually pretty good from the factory. You can always upgrade though, just not sure how much better it would be over the stock stabilizer.
