- Graves Motorsports Yamaha R3 Steering Damper Kit Install
www.sportbiket...
Since the YZF-R3 is being turned into a race bike, we're going to need to install a steering damper, which is required by most race organizations. We decided to go with the Graves Steering Damper Kit. The kit includes a steering head bracket, a fork bracket, and a steering stop. You will also need to buy the Ohlins 68mm Steering Damper, which is sold separately. Because of where we decided to mount the kit, we need to modify the fairing stay by cutting off the lower bracket that was interfering with the Steering Damper kit. If you are uncomfortable cutting your fairing stay, Graves also offers a fairing bracket that is compatible with the Steering Damper.

I installed a steering damper on my R3 and by far one of the best upgrades i made. There is patch of road where I consistently would experience wobble at high speeds, now... nothing smooth as glass.. or a baby’s bottom depending not he baby... :) thanks for the video again!
You are welcome and thanks for watching! - Van
this was another really cool video! Iv been looking for a damper for mine, and a lot of them mount to the top triple clamp, I love where this damper sits on the R3. right out of the way, but still pretty easy to get to. Thank you for the awesome videos and hard work you put into the videos, and passion your put into the bikes.
Hi man when do you think you will do a install on a yamaha r7 with the ohline staring damper?
This will get done over the course of the next few months. - Van
That'scool man but will that work on a yamaha r7 if so will you do a video on one on the yamaha r7 2022 that would bee nice keep doing the good work 👍
No you would need a kit designed specifically for the Yamaha R7. - Van
Anyway I can get one mounted below like this one in the video on my 07 Yamaha yzf-r6 I want to continue to use my fork stim quad lock but every damper I’ve seen goes over that
I do not believe there is a mount kit for that bike that allows mounting the damper below the top clamp. - Van
I'm installing graves steering stop on my R3. So can i security lock the handlebar using the key because the steering movement is now limited. Is it possible to security key lock ?
We have removed the key switch on our R3 before installing the steering stop so I do not have the answer to this question. The steering stop is a race track specific mod that I do not see a reason to do with a street bike. - Van
Do you think a yamaha r7 need a staring Bamber and if so will the one on the yamaha r7 will work and if one what will work for the yamaha r7
You will need to run a steering damper of the R7 IMO. It will need to be a kit designed to fit the R7. - Van
Nice tutorial.
Thank you for watching! - Van

Why you dont slide the tube down rather to take all stuff off from top ?
IMO easier to take off the top triple clamp. - Van

Ok,thanks.
When are you going to do a video on yamaha r7
We plan to start converting this bike to a track bike soon, stay tuned. - Van
Hi can that fit on Yamaha r7 and will you do a video on that on on Yamaha r7
We will be installing a steering damper on the R7 and shooting a video for sure. I expect we will be using the following parts for the damper install:
Graves Motorsports Yamaha YZF-R7 2022 WORKS Steering Damper Mount
www.sportbiketrackgear.com/graves-motorsports-yamaha-yzf-r7-2022-works-steering-damper-mount/
Ohlins SD 001 68mm Universal Steering Damper
www.sportbiketrackgear.com/ohlins-sd-001-68mm-universal-steering-damper/
Can anyone tell me what the distance between the holes on the graves steering stop is?
You will need to contact Graves direct to get those dimensions. I do not have one of these here in my office. - Van
Is this something that would be noticed off of the track? Ex. Hard cornering, coming down on wheelies, etc.
Yes it would work there as well. Important to note that you will loose a little bit of travel in the bars (shortens the sweep a bit). - Van
Helo if harley can install same position on fork?
I have never worked on a Harley. - Van
aloha can't find one for my 2002 sv650s> do u no where i can get one ? mahalo
Sorry Graves does not offer one for that model. - Van
Did we need brace front fork too?
No fork brace needed to install the steering damper on the R3. We are still running this set up on our STG R3, works great. - Van
Which Motion Pro t-bar are you using there?
Motion Pro Spinner II T-Handle which is available in either 1/4" or 3/8" drive. Here is a link to this on our site: www.sportbiketrackgear.com/motion-pro-spinner-ii-t-handle-3-8-08-0562/
sweettt,as i can see its simple n an universal am i right?
Does it fits on stock yamaha r3 2019?
No the 2019 and 2020 have different forks as compared to the 15-18 R3. - Van
Link to steering stopper? -Thx
Here is a link to that on our site: www.sportbiketrackgear.com/graves-motorsports-yamaha-yzf-r3-15-17-steering-stop/ - Van

why shouldnt you ride with less than 5 clicks? does this only apply to this damper or all dampers?
it is what Ohlin's states in the instruction manual, they don't state a reason for it.
Does it fit on top of the handle bars?
