RE: Scotts Steering Damper Setting
BTW, when does the two dampener settings take over? What I mean is when does the high speed engage over the low speed? I have my Scotts set 16 clicks back from counter clockwise on low speed and stock on the high side. I have a hard time steering if set any tighter.

RE: Scotts Steering Damper Setting
Got this from hard racing ...
Why is our Stabilizer so much better than others?
One of our dampers most important features is that the Scotts Stabilizer only dampens as the handlebar turns away from center. The handlebar "free-valves" back to dead straight. That makes the bike want to go straight, all by itself. This is a huge advantage over other dampers. It is the only damper where the main damping control is adjustable on the fly. It only takes two seconds of one handed riding to change the damping, similar to the time it would take to pull the string on your roll off lens. Even more importantly, the Scotts damper has a "high-speed" damping adjustment. Most impacts and head-shake at the front wheel are high speed" movements, where on the other hand, turning is a low speed movement. If you don't like the feeling the damper provides in turns, you can adjust it out and still retain the resistance to high speed impacts, NO OTHER DAMPER HAS THESE FEATURES. Not only is the damping rate and high speed circuit adjustable, but the arc of movement over which it operates is also adjustable.

The damper is then free to move to the steering stop and back to center.
