sori i meant 11K..

edited the wrong post...

hehe..

so u seen the bike?

[kinwei]

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~

 

Yes, tank slap will eventually die down provided you are lucky to last till then. A violent Tank slap happen when you travel fast and u hit a bump. Your front wheel will lift off the ground slightly making the front of the bike super light. Normally with a damper, it will take some effort to steer the handle. However without damper, the steering will be effortless. When the front wheel landed back to the ground, you happened to land slightly steer to one side. Given the bike speed and the wheel steer slightly to one side, the friction btw the front wheel and the road forced the wheel to slam totally to the one side. At this point of time, you should be hearing screeching sound as the bike is still surging forward with wheel not pointing straight. The slam will cause the handle to rebound to the other side. Plus having the steering at one side with speed is something like counter steer. You should know counter steer makes the bike lean toward the opposite direction of the steer. With the counter steer effect plus the rebound, it works like a harmony effect. It will slowly create a violent tank slap. So the whole bike will start to wobble violently as shown with the previous link I'd pasted. If you are lucky enough, you will be able to hold on until and the harmony effect dies off. If not, you will be like that guy being thrown off or helpless wait till the bike crash something

 

How a damper can prevent this from happening?

 

Firstly, I had already explain the effort to steer the handle when front wheel is lifted off the ground. So the chances of you landing straight is higher.

 

Secondly, even if the tank slap happen, the damper will help to absorb the force created by the harmony effect. Making the tank slap less violent and making the bike resume control faster.

 

A damper also served as a plus point in improving the handling of a bike. Which basically mean easier to control the bike. This is what Bro Shark means, I believe.

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.

 

I remember seeing this kind of problem discussed in the Gixxer forum. One guy was mentioning that the problem was caused the Secondary TPS (STPS) calibration for the secondary throttle body is out. It can be simply fixed by adjusting it like you would do for the Primary TPS. You might want to search there or goggle for more answer. The common fix from the workshop is simply to change the whole throttle body which is the easier way out for them.

thanks for the info... basically it's the same theory as the damping effect of the suspensions... main purpose to counter tank slap...
