Steering dampers
« on: March 24, 2011, 10:46:08 PM »

Hi just wondering do steering dampers stop vibrations from the front if you de excelarate so that the weight transfers to the front wheel tend to get vibrations from the front just had it serviced and bearing checked no problems it's a 2005 zx10 or maybe as I have 2other bikes so tend to compare but maybe this is just that are like this as maybe a bit more of a track bike rather than my fz1 which is a sports tourer

when you say (vibrations) do you mean that it shakes its head from side to side ?

cheers for response tends to vibrate when de excelerating not what i call like a tank slapper or going from side to side when excelerating hard so sort of wonder if it would take out the vibration as exspensive mistake  if i buy one and doesnt help all the best gav  :hello2:

Whip the front wheel out, go and get it balanced somewhere, and then buy a damper anyway would be my advice  :icon_thumleft:
