I recently installed a GPR stabilizer. It seems like at lower speeds 20 to 50 it is very jerky and difficult to ride straight. But it seems that in the turns it wants to dive in beautifully. It is adjustable from 1 to 8. I seem to get this uncomfortable effect on all settings. Is this normal or is somthing setup wrong? Do dampeners take time to get used to?

 

Had a similar problem this week when I installed my Scotts damper. Turned out that the "frame bracket tower" was eneven which caused the "tower pin" to bind in the damper arm slot. Turned out that a washer was missing on the rubber grommet on the tank mounting which let the grommet compress more that it was supposed to. Replaced the washer, everything fit perfectly and the damper works like a dream. Hope this helps. I don't thing there's too much difference between a GPR and Scotts.

 

the thing with dampers is that if you adjust for high speed dampening, low speed is affected and vice versa.
they aren't independent.

yes, they do take time getting used to. also, if you do adjust your suspension, make sure you dial it in without the damper on.

dampers are awesome, makes the bike much more stable in turns AND makes your arms all buff! buahahhah

 

Unless it's a scotts, they can be adjusted independent of each other....I miss mine. I had one on the 929, but no real point in having it on the 1000rr with the HESD. To be honest, as much of a scotts fanboy i am....The HESD is better. Completely invisable. The Scotts I could still feel alittle moving around in parking spaces, it'd click when I'd move the bars fast to back the bike in. Really nice units though.

dam right there, even tested its ability a few weeks back when the rear tyre let go big time,

 

dampeners take a little to get used to esspecially at low speeds, i have a scotts and i believe that is one of the best, i rode a bike or two with GPR and def. not a fan remember to turn it down a notch or two in a parking lot or moving around in the city slowly
