hesd problem
 

alright i dont know if this is just me or was a fault in my damper... was going around a bend i usually take easy and it felt like my bike didnt want to turn and it was all stiff and i almost drilled a car ... has this happened to anyone and / or is this a fault in my damper or just me?

RE: hesd problem
 

test your HESD
Raise and support the front of the bike. Move the steering back and forth several times to get a "feel" for minimum damping.

1. Lower the side stand

2. Shift tranny into a gear other than neutral.

3. Open the throttle fully ( WFO ).

4. Turn the ignition switch on ( don't start the engine ) while maintaining steps 1-3.

The HESD icon on the LCD display should start blinking ( If not, start over ).
For the next 10 seconds, the ECM will set the HESD to maximum damping ( full-stiff ). Compare this to minimum damping. If there is no change, replace the HESD unit.

NOTE: This test will not work if the Malfunction Indicator Lamp has indicated a problem exists in the PGM-DSFI ( MIL is flashing ).
