Mv Agusta F3 800 Ohlins Steering Damper Install

[@stephencole4498]

Really appreciate the quality of your videos Derek, clear concise and informative!

[@Roomer645]

I will never understand why the hell such a bike doesn't have a steering damper from the get go. It's not like the MV Agusta are bargains and on the total price a factory installed damper wouldn't have made much of a difference on the price. Epic fail IMHO. I DO however appreciate this perfect installation walkthrough and this is my #1 source for modifications on the MV on the internet. Keep up the great work Derrick !

[@justinporetta1803]

such a nice bike my man.. and I like how u can interact with the fans now. when your KZbin blows up it will be much harder to do . Awesome channel keep it up !!

[@ESBKLife]

Those are the kinds of problems I want to have LOL! Thx brotha, the love is very much appreciated!

[@jasonmakawala6322]

Keep it up bro, great bike awesome channel. Support all the way from South Africa

[@dennisariola9856]

Hi Derek, thank you for coming up with this video tutorial. Sure it will be helpful when I get my steering damper kit from motocorse knowing I could install it myself.

[@richminjarez8071]

Now I feel confident enough to install my own. Thanks!

[@ESBKLife]

Hey Rich. That's awesome man. It's exactly why I make these videos. If you have any questions, just let me know.

[@richminjarez8071]

Thank you much, I will.

[@chrisianperez2281]

Hu you have Instructions for a Mv Agusta 800 dragster 2015?

[@AMGSAM1]

Great channel and what a service you are doing for the MV owners. Keep it going!

[@english.ricardo]

I love your videos, they are great instruction videos and you have a damn great taste when it comes down to bikes. I am also an MV Agusta fan, hehehe

[@Rieju300]

Another solid install video. Please keep them coming. Thx!

[@ESBKLife]

Thx man! Watch for my posting tonight! It's pretty cool or at least I think so anyway lol.

[@vandonplays6820]

Thank you for this video, I bought the same set up for my f3

[@iainbrown4945]

Nicely produced video - detailed instructional step through like you did is very helpful

[@elmslie7]

Nice video, you can fit the bracket to the triple clamp without removing it. You can just turn the bars lock to lock

[@ESBKLife]

I've heard that but, the top triple only has 3 easy access bolts. Not worth the hassle IMO.

[@LunchBXcrue]

Damn dude, that is a friggen nice bike. The MVs are such pieces of art. I just got a 2020 Street Triple R and I'm loving it, I would still like to own a super sport some day, but right now just having an M2 and the way Ontario insurance prices are (most companies wont insure super sports) the striple is perfect for me. They had a LRH version which fit me perfectly.

[@mikeandshirleycho]

Great video...thanks to you, i was able to install ohlins on my 2018 f3 RC myself...thanks man!!

[@barraqwaharp1218]

Great video bro..i'm from Malaysia and we owned the same bike..i just installed the damper too..goona save this video for future reference..thanks

[@ESBKLife]

No problem Barraq. Thx for watching man! BTW, if you get the suspension tuned for your weight and style of riding, then technically you don't need one. But hey, I like having it installed as well. :)

[@mikef1411]

Sold my s1000rr over a year ago and still on the lookout for a new bike. I never thought about buying an MV F3 800 but after watching a few videos. I'm hyped on the bike. They look amazing and from what I've read on some forums they're reliable.

[@ESBKLife]

Hey Micheal! I've only had mine a short time now and I'm very happy with the purchase! The only problem i've had thus far is the Sprag Clutch which I knew about when I bought it. Get a LifePo4 battery, keep her off the redline and you should be good!

[@mikef1411]

Awesome, thanks for the advice!

[@VinnigsSpinTheBlock]

Micheal Langan the newer ones 2016 up are reliable do not huy the older models no joke!

[@ESBKLife]

Hey Flash, I don't necessarily agree with that broad sweeping statement. The 2016 and up models haven't been available long enough to make that statement and most if not all are still under warranty. In addition, I'm aware of several pre-2016 F3's that have had only minor issues. I think it's a reach to say stay clear of all pre-2016 models.

[@VinnigsSpinTheBlock]

ESBKLife you ovviously dont know mv issues with the old models haha!! Engines leaking oil, clutch went out, bad batteries, quick shifter messing up etc. i know my italians. I know from personal experience my younger brother had bought a 14 675 all these issues and he contacted mv multiple times never got any help. He wound up selling the sucker. When it comes to bikes i know reliability cause i ride my bikes from tx to florida and cali. So i need reliability. Mv also had some no start issues bike would die on people. Plus mv was on the verge on being broke for a while until amg invested. Take a look at mv 2016 and up new engine case and color.. wonder why. Haha so yes i’d firmly tell people stay away from older models. If it has the newer engine case black which goes for late 2016 models if not mistaken, and up.

[@BladeBarn]

alright putting my bike together finally, does the long black bracket go on top of the silver one that is already affixed to the tank and replace those bolts w the loner ones or??? I had my tank off the bike for a month now and not sure if the tank bracket gets removed up front or what. Couldn't see in the vid just saw you swapped the short bolts for the long ones obviously

[@ESBKLife]

Hey GunsCarsBikeCigars. Nothing is attached to the tank.lf you have the same or similar setup to me then there are 2 brackets. One semicircle shaped that mounts to the underside of the top steering yoke and one longer bracket that mounts the frame with two long bolts. Same mounting location as the tank. Get the tank in position then the bracket.

[@Turbo329]

I like your channel big guy! I find it upsetting that at the F3's price point a steering damper doesn't come standard. I mean they could've even gone the MIC route for a damper or went with a cheaper unit like the Japanese use.

[@BladeBarn]

nice, can't ride a bike without one!

[@ESBKLife]

What up Guns? MV created this bike without one and word is, if you setup the suspension properly, it doesn't need one. Personally, I just assume put one on there lol

[@MikeM-gt8gq]

Hi Derek, Great videos, always clear and concise. Design Corsa is closed and I need to purchase the bracket kit to install the 68mm ohlins damper. I emailed Moto Corsa but was wondering if you knew of any other company where I could order. Thanks again for any assistance and always for phenomenal content.

[@ESBKLife]

Bellissimoto.com ask for Lyle!

[@AsadCh143]

Good job. keep it up. i wish you have mv Agusta dragster 800 rr so we can see detailed videos on that. anyhow Thanks for great work and effort for showing us.

[@thegolflife7565]

This sounds dumb but do you recommend the stand from MV since it has a single sided swing Arm? Do you have any tips or tricks on how to put those big bolts that go towards the rear of the bike? I have been having a hell of a time getting them to line up... they are the two with the rubber gasket, aluminum sleeve.

[@ESBKLife]

Hey Golf. There's nothing wrong with the MV rear stand, it works awesome. However, I prefer the Pit-Bull stands. They're quality is top notch. As for the bolts you're talking about, please send me a picture to [e-mail]

[@option4wdsouthafrica249]

Off topic.. I see you have bar end mirrors on the Mv. What did you do with the indicators?

[@ESBKLife]

Nothing for the front at the moment but, i'll be adding Oberon Bar end blinkers soon goo.gl/dPWW3H. In had these on my 1199 and loved them! The rears are integrated into the tail light.

[@pistolpete5805]

awesome stuff bro

[@Black_Gold_Saw]

Just went to see your instagram. I see there is a picture of you showing the Ohlins damper. But next to it are some headlight bulbs. Did you already change out your headlight bulbs to LED on the F3 800? If not maybe for future video?

[@ESBKLife]

You have a keen eye my friend haha! That video will be posted soon!

[@rexmisereatur8213]

I'm thinking about get an f3. any kit on the right year? this will be a track bike, but may use it to commute as well.

[@daniell6815]

Hey, friend, good morning. can you tell me a site or link that I can buy the ohlins bumper for f3 800? I'm searching and I'm not finding the complete kit ...

[@ESBKLife]

What's up Daniel? There are a number of ways you can go about this. Remember an actually Ohlins kit doesn't exist for this bike, which is why you're having an hard time finding it. The easiest way is to purchase a complete kit from Moto Corse or Design Corse. Design Corse sells the Moto Corse kit. Here are the links www.motocorsestore.com/en/brands/mv-agusta/f3-675-f3-800.html or www.designcorse.com/products/motocorse-steering-damper. They retail for about $600 US. Easy but pricey for sure! The more cost effective way is to purchase the damper and the bracket separately. You can find the mounting bracket on eBay for about $65 US and the Ohlins Damper from Kyle Racing (www.shop.kyleusa.com/searchquick-submit.sc?keywords=sd001) for about $345 US. Whatever you do DON'T purchase the Ohlins damper from eBay unless it's coming from a reputable seller. There are a lot of copies/knock offs out there that are total pieces of shit! Hope this help?

[@daniell6815]

ESBKLife thanks man

[@Gy_279]

Does the aftermarket one's really work? Can I be safe in high speeds??😢

[@ESBKLife]

Well the F3 doesn’t come with one from the factory. Apparently MV didn’t think the bike needs one but we certainly don’t feel the same lol. The Ohlins unit is top notch and is used as the OE steering damper on several high end bikes as well as full race prepped track bikes!!

[@ianpaddick2003]

What gas cap do you have on your bike?

[@ESBKLife]

That was the stock fuel cap.

[@mvagusta6757]

Why doesn't this bike come with a stock dampner. I know this is most people's qn., but I've never heard or seen an official answer. My only theory is that MV think that if your a perfect rider, you don't need one on this bike. & of course there's the penny pinching. MV should explain!!

[@ESBKLife]

Well you're close. MV feels that if the suspension is set properly that doesn't need one lol

[@mvagusta6757]

@@ESBKLife thanks mate.

[@zohebmerchant2750]

I need it Can send link where to buy I'm from India.

[@ESBKLife]

What's up Zoheb? What part of India? I spent a couple of weeks in Hyderabad a few years ago. Had a great time!!! Anyway, you can get the entire kit at www.designcorse.com or www.motocorsestore.com. I believe both ship to your country. Take care man and thx for tuning in!!

[@zohebmerchant2750]

ESBKLife any custom issue Bcoz everyone say's shipping is delaying by the motocorse.in

[@ESBKLife]

Sorry can't answer that one.
