HOW-TO: Install an Öhlins Steering Damper on a Yamaha R3

#ohlins #damper #yamahar3 #steeringdamper #steeringstabiilzer
Yes! I am replacing my beloved GPR stabilizer for the Öhlins SD001 steering damper! Many of you have asked if a steering damper is necessary on a small bike like the R3. My take is that I'd rather be safe than sorry, hence my decision to have a damper. Some race organizations also mandate that all bikes have a steering stabilizer.
The installation process was a lot simpler than I expected. The Graves damper mount kit is definitely a must for this installation. It took me approximately 1.5 hours to install this unit. To complete the work, you will need to remove the front/upper fairing.
The Öhlins damper is very well designed and super light. I also like the fact that it is very easy to adjust the amount of dampening provided by this unit.

[@baecchi4153]

Im curious about that extra radiator below the original radiator..

[@landry555]

Hi! Thanks for watching and for your question. I installed the Febur auxiliary radiator since I removed the fans from the bike and the extra rad keeps the bike running cooler. I've documented the full install process here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4vdmYmam8ShaM0 Let me know if you need more details. Cheers, /Marco

Hi Landry, thansk for sharing the video. Can I ask why did you decide to change the GPR damper? Do you think the Ohlins is much better than the GPR? Thanks

[@landry555]

Hi there! I decided to change to Öhlins because the GPR unit required a lot of "care" and quite often, I'd get to the track and one of my GPR unit was leaking and I wasted precious time to service and re-fill the GPR damper with oil. Thanks for watching. Let me know if you need more info. Best Regards, /Marco

[@morokianvlog1.030]

sir, the bracket you put in the middle of the damper, can we buy something sir from shopee? or just modify?

[@landry555]

Hello! If you are talking about the small clamp that holds the damper, it comes with the Õhlins unit. I am not aware of any other places to purchase it other than an authorized distributor. Let me know if you need anything else. Thank you for watching! Best regards, /Marco
