Copy it from wikipedia. Lazy to type.

 

"Sport bikes have a short wheel base and an aggressive steering geometry to provide the ability to make very quick changes in direction. This has the generally undesirable side-effect of making the bike less stable, more prone to feedback from uneven road surfaces, and more difficult to control. In addition, their light weight and powerful engine can cause frequent wheelies. If the front wheel significantly deviates from the direction of travel when it touches down, it may cause an unwanted wobble. Steering dampers are installed on some high-end sport motorcycles and most contemporary racing bikes to counter these behaviours.

 

Steering dampers are also mounted to off-road motorcycles such as motocross bikes. A damper helps keep the bike tracking straight over difficult terrain such as ruts, rocks, and sand, and also smooths out jolts through the handlebars at the end of jumps. They also reduce arm fatigue on longer rides by reducing the amount of effort needed to control the handlebars."

 

Anyway to add on, a damper biggest advantage is it ability to prevent or reduce the violent shake from a tank slap. When violent tank slap happen, by using normal human strenght, you would not be able to stop it.

 

Just imagine that you are going at more than 150kph, u hit a small bump as usual. However the difference this time is the handle shake violently and you simply can't counter it with all your strenght. To make things worse, the slap become more and more violent until you are cannot control the bike and are being flung off.

 

Until the day you had experienced violent tank slap then you will appreciate the damper. Like you, I have not experience any of this violent tank slap yet. But my friends does and luckily he managed to stop the bike without any accident.

 

Anway here is a clip on how a violent tankslap looks like.Link

 

 

thanks for the detailed explaination...

 

well...i started off in off-road riding... truly understand the feeling of riding thru ruts... lean all the way back to get max traction on ur rear tires and making sure front dun dig into any of the ruts... at this point i feel i do need a damper for off-road riding...

 

but then... for road bikes... so far havent been able to ride till the bike shakes that violently...

 

1 more point u stated: tank slap will become more and more violent.

i thought tank slap will eventually die down.. correct way to handle the tank slap is to loosen ur grip or someone say, let go of the handle... i dunno... correct me if i'm wrong...

 

quoted by bro shark... the damper improves handling... but it seems like bro kinwei explaination emphasized on countering tank slap... so which is which? hehe~

I feel both IMHO...Did hit a bump last time at 200+km/hr enroute to Kulai, front wheel lifted slightly and when it landed..It shook for awhile before stabilising...

if you let go of the handle, won't the bike be buang-ed?

 

 

Biaggi must be the only one doing the rear-end tank-slap:

Anyone encounter a C28 error (STVA fault) before? Short of replacing the entire throttle body, there seems to be no way to rectify it. I heard from an ex-K4-rider that he had Meng Tong totally bypass that error, and removed the butterfly valve plates from the throttle body. Anyone with similar experience to share?

 

I am not about to spend hundreds to fix a problem that only affects emissions... I've already trained my right hand (the hard way, after numerous scary experiences) to control the throttle very finely.
