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?
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.

that's exactly right mawfaki!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
set up your suspension and your bike won't need it...unless you track it hard or canyon hard.
hondas are very stable...unlike yams and gixxers.
