yes in my book it's a must have as mine used to shake the bars under full accelaration and it's always good to have a damper for laning wheelies just in case, it's certainly proved it's worth for me

I have found that it is not essential if you are attentative with the 10R but if you like to ride agressive with fistfuls all the time...

then you do get some minor unstability ..

I have just got a damper yet to fit it so cannot say whether or not it changes much for me.

thanks for the reply.. just bought a zx10r in black, with an art can and a seat hump.

careful with the throttle on a 10R    I wish I could be, i just love that bit hit of power and those wheelies.all day long every day..........well I would if I could  

seriously though, under full acceleration in 2nd and 3rd mine used to break into a weave, nothing that bothered me too much but it was always there, once the damper was fitted it all went away

you cant ride a zx10 in anger without a damper ,mine just weaved  and shook its head without it .now with a sprint damper  its dead stright now you can ride it in anger,also keeps you safe on landing wheelies .damper set at 9 of 13 clicks,an absolute must for all zx10r riders who like to go hard and fast
