The steering right side damper arm must touch the top (where the adjustment screws) or the lower part of the fork leg? Because I pushed down the forks lowering the front of the bike of 6mm
Hey, good video. Was wondering if you might be able to help. I bought a Hyperpro RSC used for my cbr954rr. however, no installation instructions. I know I don't really need them to install it but I do need the torque values. Help pls.
The damper stops Tank Slappers Fond on the web... Tankslappers happen when a bike’s front wheel leaves the road surface momentarily (or for longer if the bike is wheelieing) and moves from the straight-ahead position whilst airborne (this almost always happens if the rider touches the front brake which stops it rotating and thus loses its gyroscopic resistance to turning). When the wheel lands, the trail (or castor) self-straightening effect of the steering, causes the wheel to snap back towards the straight-ahead position, but does it so rapidly that it passes through the straight-ahead point again and goes towards the opposite lock. At this point, the effect pushes the wheel straight-back again and if the movement is too fast, the oscillation can become so violent that the handlebars can become impossible to hold on to. Even if control is regained, if the steering has gone from lock-to-lock, the tankslapper often causes the front brake caliper pistons and pads to retract, leading to reduced braking - or braking at all - being available at the next corner! If you’ve never experienced a tankslapper - but ride a modern Sportsbike - you can be pretty sure that one day you will probably experience one, as it’s generally found that as a rider becomes more and more familiar with their bike, they gradually gain the confidence to ride it more aggressively, until the front wheel is going light, or skimming the road without them knowing. It can be something as small as a cat’s eye in the road, which under such conditions, has been known to send the bike and rider into the hedge!
Only on full lock ( right ) you can see in the vid how close the fork gets and the top nut will hit the bracket you need to line up the nut/fork up with the damper bracket to give clearance.
Pm Bautista it’s quite easy if the bike is on a headstock stand, but can be done by just pulling and twisting, have the Allen key in the nut to lock off when needed.
jesters600 I don’t have the front stand that’s I worried about and if I will need a heavy force to pull it back down.. Does it requires heavy force to pull it back down without the front stand and do I need somebody’s help or so...? Thanks!
I'm live in Brazil. Your video is very nice and I learn with it.
very well explained the video! congratulations

Hi Jester, ever heard of mounting one of these on a BMW F800? Cheers and nice video!!!

great job
hi, I saw that the fork pushed up and to push it back down is it gonna be hard? Thanks
Did you notice a big performance improvement?
what about the HESD. Is this installed along while still having the stock electronic HESD installed?
Hello,
Tell me please, where to buy the same by online for my 2014 CB1000R?
Thanks
onde compro um desse
I know this sounds stupid but Can someone please explain to me . whats the purpose of that. ?
No torque settings?
Sorry just to clarify, the top nut on the fork in the way of the damper arm?
