OEM dampers are crap and I never thought I would need to but, I need a re-valve. The steering shakes all over the place since I went down one tooth at the front and up one at the back........and I fitted my quick action throttle Where is the best place to get the re-valve done or should I save up and buy a new damper? The bike is only used on the road.

Thanks Paul, just noticed previous posts and thought that was the best way to go

where are you based mate?

had mine done at Revs in west mids.. hes top susspension bloke, same price ish i think? mine was a favour.. much better

What do K-tech do to it? If all they do is change the oil that that's an expensive service

I can change the oil in a steering damper. It isn't difficult.

[drewk8]

no lads..

inside is a tiny brass valve . it looks like the thing you blow a football up with.
the standard one is cut short but the Race spec ohlins one is to a point. The chap gave me the old one and showed me the new one. He said changing the just the oil wont work, but it is now WSB and BSB spec.. 

not sure how much it costs but i did some work for him so mine was a freebie, and he set my forks and shock up..

Ah ok, that's what i was asking in the first place. A longer thinner taper would give you more adjustment

[drewk8]

yes mate.. click 18 almost locks it !

must admit, nothing really happens till about click 10.. got mine on 13
