Was wondering if you guys recommend/find a need for a dampener on a 01 f4i.thanx in advance for your opinion.

 

Moved to F4i forum.

I personally never needed one on my F4i. Either I never pushed her that hard or I had a light, relaxed enough touch to need it. Of course I never tracked her either. So I guess the question is: what do you intend to do with her? I found the F4i to be very stable personally.

 

of course if you are having problems then you may want to look at your suspension and where your forks are, but if for other applications then i would say go expensive.
i would like to know your need for one, because im thinking of going -1 tooth sprocket at least in the front.
if your forks are at factory height and you arent jacking up your rear preload to the moon it should be very stable.

 

Excellent thanx guys I'm just riding it normal with the occasional track day.

 

It's not a necessity, but I have a newer Kawasaki that has a damper on it, and I've grown fond of having it. If you have the money, I'd get one. But it's a personal preference, and not something you "need" to ride. I've had the F4i for seven years without a damper, so yeah.

 

Cool thanx much appreatiated
