What is the main usage of damper?

If i don't usually ride fast... this it worth to get one? I'm thinking of getting the Bitubo damper... is it good?

IMHO .. i agree with Wayang. Actually, if you don't ride fast, can don't get one. But sooner or later, you will ride fast. Its an R6 and i don't think its 100kmh in NS- highway.

 

The steering is a bit unsettling when you hit certain degree of bumps, which makes the steering wobble. Most R6s or rather the high torque bikes will encounter this. i encountered some life threathening tankslap (look back in our the thread...think i left is sibeh long post there ), right on the 2nd day of ownership at about 220~240kmh. From that day onwards, i saved to a damper liaoos... Make my style of riding much more 1-> safe and 2-> more enjoyable.

 

Tankslaps/wobble encompass various factors. Ride style/road conditions/bike torque/sus settings blah blah and so on. A damper greatly reduces the effect and improves the ride quality. Took me a looong while before i managed to get my piece

 

IMHO I think a damper with high n low speed valving is pretty useful across most riding range (NS-highway, to daily commuting). It allows you to set the damping at high speeds (meaning tank slap speed rate.. not the ride speed), yet to also set it to normal riding damping required. If not, if you set super hard , then imagine you go petrol kiosk, want to turn handlebar but cannot turn... DIE

 

If not a slightly more affordable alternative are ones w/o high & low type. Then you happen to need hard hard settings, you must remember to turn backl soft when you are not goin fast loh..
