JUST TO SHARE, PLS NO FLAME!!!

 

i noticed this with alot of R6 06/07 riders especially, but this myth has been going on for a long time.

 

Alot of us, the moment we encounter head shake or tank slapper, the first thing we do is install a damper.

 

IS THE DAMPER THE SOLUTION?

 

does this mean that factory produced R1, K7 1000, CBR 1000, ZX10 with Ohlins damper will all encounter headshake if the damper was removed?

 

ARE YOU GUYS AWARE THAT IF YOUR SUSPENSIONS ARE NOT DIALLED IN PROPERLY, YOU CAN ENCOUNTER ALL SORTS OF PROBLEMS, especially with a light bike?

 

search the net to find out how to do basic preload adjustments.

 

and before you do any, use that method to measure your stock settings. and see how far off you go. remember, readings go in mm

 

my advice is go for the race fairing first

 

Amba.. not re-flaming back, actually to add on to your advise.

 

I agree to your alternative reason in terms of suspension setup. I believe I did mention some backdated post, on ZERO suspension setup and did a stupid trial n the second day of R6 ownership. Big mistake. After proper setting up, (ride sag, fcompression n rebound etcetc) yes... headshakes were much reduced but not adequate for constant top speed riding (sorry amba... But I have less track experience to you..I am more into NS-highway n B-roads where road condition differs quite a bit)

 

Like I mentioned, track wobbles differs greatly from road wobbles especially on b-roads, so I am geared towards aggressive street riding comments. Pardon me for not mentioning earlier.

 

A race fairing was also my priority list within bike ownership. But there are some whose bikes are mainly for transport also, which getting into the law is not cheap either.

 

So its good that we both brought out our experiences in aid of new riders in both bike settings & components decision.

 

Think best is get both together lah!kekeke:cheeky:

I personally feels that get someone do the suspension set-up first, cos the stock set-up is too stiff!I finally manage to adjust the suspension & WOW, I'VE NEVER FELT SO CONFIDENT IN IT!HOPE TO INPROVE ON THIS SUNDAY'S TRACKDAY @PG!

Also, i remember taking 5thRiders course,he told Wayne to throw away his damper!:giddy:
