I juz bought a NHK damper and got it installed at K&T yesterday. It feels woobily when i'm travelling at low speed (40 and below). The mechanic tested the bike and he oso acknowledged the woobling and when i ask him, he juz ask me not to tighten the damper too much(Is the woobling normal). I tot damper supose to make bike more stable??? Can anyone explain.

NHK?? hmm? isit good? nvr heard b4...me using a average one DAYTONA. for rd use , i would say its good esp at high speeds of 140kmh and above..and oso in tight corners i find my bike more stable.

 

BUT..when come to slow speeds 40 and below, i find it little bit hard to balance myself sometimes esp when the damper is clicked to hardest damping.

 

so i guess iz like that one lor.

Got the daytona damper wid bracket last time @ $100.

Fixed at motordiam FOC.

Road bike riders NEVER need a damper for your sports bike--period.

 

Why would you want to put a damper in when you use your bike only on the street shows that you are a fool to believe these fancy things serve to better your handling of your bike. Your highest speed on the street never require it and there would be times when manoeuvring between tight traffic make you wish you DID NOT install a damper.

 

The real trick is to used correct type of tires, balance your wheels, lubricate and properly tighten your steering head bearings, ensure your front fork suspension is properly set and you will have a much better handling bike for ALL street conditions!

 

Don't look cool just becos you think it is cool in the race track or magazines becos it would not really serve you well in the way you really want to use the bike!

[benson]

Gettin it fix on mon for $160, any1 intereated? Maybe can lower the price

hmm....then i wonder why suzuki put dampers in their ROAD-GOING sportskikes srads and hayabusas??? maybe the engineers at suzuki are what u called "fools"

 

do u know what is tank slappers? i bet u dont. coz i believe yr bike is a true ROAD-BIKE that " highest speed on the street never require it" .

 

before u make such bold remarks and calling ppl FOOLS, i suggest u read up abit 1st. fool.

hi mr slowrider,

how is your $30 X-lite (race passion) raincoat?

my 'kena chop still walk away happily' arai is very very good!

 

so now u r here to give your worthy comments on dampers. y do u presume dat everything ppl spend abit more on is juz to look cool?

 

frankly u disgust me. we would enjoy ourselves better without your foolish, groundless digs at people.

sorry for using the word 'we' coz i dunno how the others feel.

but as far as i m concerned, i would trully enjoy myself better if u keep this flame-attracting comments to yourself.

 

but if u have good advice to share, i would love to hear it.

[Guest Ise]

Haha the people here all very fierce. No wonder all riding RVF(Rider very fierce)!! But frankly speaking,slowrider you decerve it.Cos it's non of your business as to wat we do on to our bike.If we got money and juz want to make our ride better,it's our own business.We dun need u to come and say that we are fools.Perhap you are feeling jealous cos you can't afford to buy one for your pathetic SP?
