Steering damper
The steering damper (1) is located before the
handlebar and is secured to the steering head.
It provides stable and accurate steering, improving
the motorcycle's handling response under any
conditions.
The damper is adjusted by electric impulses sent by
the instrument panel to the adjuster inside damper
body.
There are usually only two events requiring
adjustment of the damping level selected by the rider,
i.e.:
-
High-frequency wobbling: the motorcycle
steering will undergo fast movements due to an
impulse (e.g., when landing after a wheelie).
- increase steering damping power, so
decrease the number of clicks of the
steering damper.
- Low-frequency weaving: the motorcycle will
tend to move to the side in a winding manner and
in general will considerably slide (e.g., during a
high-speed acceleration).
- Decrease steering damping power, so
increase the number of clicks of the steering
damper.
