steering dampner
Sometimes when going hard of first and shifting into second my bike starts to wobble just a bit...now this mainly only happens when i do it on a road that might have a few bumps or uneven parts in it. When doing it on a highway it usually never wobbles, however would a steering dampner help this problem?

RE: steering dampner
From my experience, most wobbles and headshakes can be corrected by proper ride hieght setup, suspension setup and just plain old riding technique. Here's a link to some tech articles on suspension setup from a guy who worked on my race bike (http://www.roadracinghelp.com/techni...icles_menu.htm). As far as riding technique goes, try not to have a death grip on the clip ons. I've found that having a death grip on the clips ons when going over bumpy surfaces tends to make my bike headshake.
Anyways, I use a steering damper for insurance since my bike is set up so it doesn't headshake or wobble much. I have it on just to keep any headshakes that occur from getting worse or having a tank slapper. Also, I keep it set pretty light since the steering damper can transfer the shake into the chassis.
