Steering damper?

anthony gothard · Aug 18, 2016

any of you guys have one fitted.
had a couple of head shakes today under hard acceleration... made my bum twitch a bit.
dont want one on the top in all its glory, would like one of those that sit above the radiator.

Any difference in performance between the two

recommend me a make and supplier, if you have had experience
cheers again

I have used Toby in the past on another bike and found it did it's job. I too get the occasional head shake on on my S3 955i but a lot is probably down to my suspension setup, I always set them up a bit skittish. I find winding it on a bit more generally gets things back in line without it ever reaching a full on slapper.

ive had the suspension professionally set up on mine, so think thats not the issue.

also changed wheels for much lighter ones and front and rear cogs changed

only started doing this since mods.

Lighter weight and faster excel will all help start a shake, if it's just the odd one i would not worry about it, just relax and keep the throttle open.
