Picking up an 06 1000rr next week, but im just wondering what the stock damper is like? or should i keep my scots (off my 954) and put that on?

thanks!

 

The stock damper is just fine at faster speeds, but if it's wheelies you like to do then it doesn't tighten up fast enough unless you are pulling wheelies at 60 plus... but other than that the handling is nice

 

cool man thanks!

 

Yeah, it works fine. But like already said, it doesnt work well at low speeds. Its speed sensitive so the fast you go, the tighter it gets.

Ive never had any headshake issues at all. wheelies or mid corner bumps.If you plan to race the bike, it probably wont beconfidence inspiring enough. but for the street, it works fine.

 

The stock dampner on the 1000rr is awesome unless you plan to make this a track bike. I love how it gets tighter at faster speeds. It has never got in the way of my riding, but a lot of track guys like to swap it out due to all of the high speed turns they do.

I have never had a tankslapper or aything else that would make me question the stock dampner. It's nice and solid at fast speeds. Give it a try, I am sure you will like it.

 

For street riding is good but I still want to use my ohlins but cant find a damn kit for my 04.

 

perfect guys... that answers my questions.

thanks again!
