It's spooky that you posted this video. I was literally deciding on whether or not to get a steering damper for my R6 after I had a tank slapper happen to me last weekend at the track. I woke up this morning, seen you had posted this video, watched it, ordered an Ohlins damper an hour later haha. Great video as always. Thank you👍

[@ChasingTenths]

Wow that’s astonishing Unbelievable That was good timing wasn’t it Good choice on the damper mate After market ones are a bit better than OEM supplied with the bike And on a 600 bike it’s a must due to a lighter weight and ever increasing power Thanks for watching and supporting mate

[@stevemurtz3546]

Best thing you could've done on a r6. My one was almost un-rideable without it on track.

[@luisolivera9307]

This is one of the most informative presentations I've seen in a while and I thank you! First, I don't do track days, race or off road. Filtering down further, I have 2 bikes, 2006 BMW K1200r and 2006 Yamaha Fz1 (USA). Instantly you can see the dynamics are changed in the design of each machine. The BWM steers horribly in slow tight spots (think parking lots) but is limitless in high speed (160 mph) stability. Low center of gravity and longer wheel base simply helps. But the steering is horrible at low speed. The Fz1 is a masterful machine at 2/3 the weight of the BMW and feather light. At 130 mph the front want to take in a side show, so to speak, and drift a bit. With that said, the Yamaha is the better bike in many ways because it is so easy to ride all day. The Yamaha has no damper! The BMW has the stock damper and it's heavy. I'm going to install a damper on the Fz1 because of the limiting factors of the BMW and my age. Initially it makes no sense to do it but I get fatigued and the damper helps on the BMW when it's a long ride. The Yamaha needs a bit more attention even though it's in great condition. No one know their bike better than a useful owner. I'm likely to keep one of the two motorcycles after this year and it seems the Yamaha will win out. Damper or not. Please consider making more content and thank you.

[@ChasingTenths]

Wow, thank you for the kind words Luis and sorry for the late reply. The points on that BMW are spot on by you and it's got a stiffer damper for stability which I am sure you know. You definitely need one on the Yamaha and get a good one too , they can be expensive but they are worth their weight in gold , I ride a number of bikes from different era and I can feel the difference straightaway , the ones with damper and not. I will definitely start doing more tech content, I had a bit of a break from KZbin but I am back on it now. thanks for the lovely constructive , well written comment

[@ChasingTenths]

Thanks Ian much appreciate it mate , yes even I notice the damper more since last year when it actually came in handy

[@ayowser01]

In the opening clip of the cbr1krr, it has HESD, which is Honda's electronic steering damper. That was a pretty crazy example of a tank slapper.

[@ChasingTenths]

wow, I didn't know he had HESD, didn't notice it , thanks for pointing that out .. good observation

[@Mikkel111]

Electronic dampers aren’t “AI” or any other fancy stuff. They just increase damping based on speed. So when doing slow speed maneuvers it can be soft and when going 180, it can be stiff. Since slow speed isn’t relevant for racing, it isn’t used. Has nothing to do with it not being “ready”.

[@ChasingTenths]

I totally agree with you and excellent explanation… i purely meant it for racing not street , I have ridden the new fireblade and RSV4 factory with electronic damper on street and track , the term AI was just used as a metaphor as I am well aware it’s not totally AI

[@brianjewell4139]

As a pre-APRC RSV4 owner, I'm happy you made this video. The factory damper is...well it's on the bike at least? I had a GPR V2 on my RC51 SP2 and learned on the track on that bike, when I went to the Ape it was a fantastic change, so nimble, narrow, and responsive...but WOW, the Factory setup on my RSV4 would wobble in very "minor" scenarios. Even things like 2nd gear corner at 40mph, Maybe 30° of lean and on corner exit, just enough to lighten the front and I'd have wobble. I started chasing rebound and compression settings because it was so pronounced. Turns out I had a blown steering damper. The value of having a good one is so important. Great video and breakdown, very well thought out.

[@ChasingTenths]

wow Brian, first of all sorry for the late reply , some comments slip through the net. Great comment, I am so glad you actually noticed the difference with or without damper or with different settings or a damper which wasn't up to scratch. I love comments like this , cause from your experience and from what you felt and observed , I can learn a thing or two too. Thanks for the constructive reply , makes a lot of sense and I appreciate you appreciating the work gone behind this video. cheers

[@joeshumo9457]

Only some tank slappers are controllable through more throttle at the onset of the wobble. If it’s going nuts I’ll let go with my left hand first and not chop the throttle but after it increases I’ll let go completely. Unfortunately I have loads of experience with this. I love dampers. They reduce the risk considerably. The last one I had was top speed testing to 160 mph with no problems whatsoever and on the ride home at 80 mph it experienced violent head shake for no apparent reason and I attributed it to road conditions as I couldn’t get it to do it again at similar speeds and inputs. It’s not if but when and you have to be ok with the pucker factor.

[@L3v3LLIP]

Another tip to prevent wobbles and stop them: Grip your tank with your knees and press your heels against the bike to increase the mass that needs to wobble. Often a to relaxed riding position is part of the reason for a such an event in the first place. On public roads at least.

That’s very interesting, thanks for that tip .. wonderful

Hello Abhi, I currently have the KYB steering damper that comes stock with my 2011 GSXR 750 (which is non-adjustable). In your honest opinion, is it worth upgrading to the Ohlins steering damper which is adjustable for street riding and occasional 2/3 track days/year ??

[@ChasingTenths]

hi mate, thanks for this great question, i will be honest , no you dont. I have a fully adjustable damper and i have rarely ever changed the adjustability, but i like a stiffer setting and i keep it at that. One thing you must do is service your damper. And also your bike is 750 and i must say , you have a fantastic bike , these 2011 750 are now rare and are the best for trackdays , best of power and handling. So having a 750 , you dont have crazy amount of torque to unsettle the bike or constant wheelies. So you will be fine. i assure you , but make sure you get it serviced and see if they can stiffen it slightly , only slightly.

[@ThrottleBackRubberDown]

Great video. Tank slappers are no bueno and steering dampers are great. I would have a hard time gassing through one but it makes sense. Like a lot of things, counterintuitive.

Thanks Ben, really appreciate that mate, yes, I was told by 3 people during my research that the Kawasaki one has a bit of a delay or sometimes unpredictable But I just never mention any brands in my video ever or disrepute them .. but good to hear mate I do think Kawasaki position their damper really well , perfect position that on the top. Thanks for watching mate and supporting

[@benjaminlawrence2864]

It’s been better since I got the suspension set up correctly but it’s still no where near as good as it should, doing abit of research someone makes a manual aftermarket kit to fit to the electronic one which makes it a lot more useable so I’m going to invest in that ready for next years track days 👌🏽 hope to see you on one next year bud

[@ChasingTenths]

@@benjaminlawrence2864 aaahhhh that’s very interesting, I didn’t know about that kit .. but I definitely it’s worth investing in it because if the steering is iffy at times or has it’s own brain then you cannot be confident or at yours best on any decent turn carrying decent speed

[@stevemurtz3546]

@@benjaminlawrence2864 can you explain how it was shocking for you? I found that mine would not react in time when driving out of the corners with front end slightly in the air. Raised the tail 10mm and dropped the front 5mm. Also dialed out some squat on the rear and I no longer have any issues. I've also had extensive suspension setup changes including different valving and weight of oil in front suspension. Would just like to hear what happened and what you did to resolve it.

@9:56 what computer program is this?

[@rudyhonings]

Seems you missed a bit in your research. Most dampers you see may be linear, because they are the cheapest to make. Many factory standard ones can't even be adjusted. The Scott you show yourself at 6:10 has 3 adjusters, of which 2 can be adjusted instantly. That's why they are positioned 'in your face'

Cool video but didn't really touch on the differences between dampers. I'm looking at a Scott's damper for the 2 way, high/ low speed settings. I don't want to add any weight to my steering during everyday riding, but I would love to have some insurance against slappers. Idk, maybe an overly simplistic understanding, but I don't see any competitors offering the same thing.

[@ChasingTenths]

Good point, I really wanted to do a deep dive into the differences in dampers, that would have just made the video too long and people these days have low attention span , but definitely do another video on it.. personally I have only used the ohlins one on my race bike and 4 other bikes from different eras and it has been faultless and given me great peace of mind. But thanks for the tip on deep dive into the dampers , I think I will do a video on it.
