If you are going to use your bike on a track then get it. If not then you won't need it cuz you wont be riding like you stole it on the street anyways.

 

Using a band-aid before you actually know and appreciate the nuance's your inputs will haveona motorcyclecould actually do more harm than good...

The highlighted statement is like telling a Doctor "it hurts when I do this..." and the Doctor replies back, "well, don't go like this..." The problem you had wasn't the fault of the bike, so why punish it by taking away it's steering privilege...

That is all...

 

I took my 06 to the track and I have no damper and I didn't have any problems at all...

 

I dont know how important dampers are for racing applications. However, they are a very useful if you do wheelies all the time. Also, if you ride on bumpy street you can definitely benefit from a damper.

Seriously, why would you need a damper on a track? The road is smooth as it can be. Is it just as a precaution?

 

Dude I would'nt ride a bike without a steering stabilizer...

 

don't the 06's have stock dampers below the triple tree they are nothing fancy but the do help i know the 07's come with HESD

 

Yes the steering damper do help.My previuos CBR 600RR 2003 did not had one and defintly on the 07 i can feel better handle and controlwhen riding at high speed.The bike is much more stable and handles better around corners.
