GPS steering damper kx500
TheGDog:
P.S. The side-to-side whipping thing I've also experienced on my K5.. seems to occasionally happen on stutter bumps. After reading a Personal Message from jag talking about a dilemma his friend was having.. I'm starting to believe it's an issue with not enough rebound dampening dialed-in.
dsrtrider:
thanks!

Have any of you guys had problems with getting the clamp to stay on? Mine keeps coming loose... Is it because it?s not on right? Maybe not tight enough, It?s really tight & I don?t wanna strip/break it? Here is how it?s on now... It was on the bike when I got it and I?ve never had any experience with stabilizers before. A buddy of mine has one on his bike, but it is welded on, and i would rather not do that.

I just got back from a very steep, rocky and hilly ride on my k5. Humbling to say the least. I have suffered from a serious amount of violent front end deflection; the front end just seemed to make a big deal out of everything.
I am a 140kg rider (308lbs I know what a tank hehe but I?m big boned :wink:) and I don?t wish to soften the front any, as it was using most of the stroke of the front fork. Do you think that changing the dampening presets would help? Or even having a steering dampener installed?
WRXBRUMBY:
Oh and bunk where did you get that tank? it is awesome.
