Steering damper
The steering damper (1) is located up front before the
handlebar and is secured to the steering head. It
provides stable and accurate steering, improving the
motorcycle's handling response under any
conditions.
The shock absorber is adjusted by electric impulses
sent by the instrument panel to the adjuster inside
the damper body.
There are usually only two events requiring
adjustment of the damping level selected by the
rider, i.e.:
1) High-frequency wobbling: the motorcycle
steering will undergo fast movements due to an
impulse (e.g., when landing a wheelie).
Increase steering damping power, so decrease
the number of clicks of the steering damper.
2) Low-frequency weaving: the motorcycle will
tend to move to the side in a winding manner
and in general will considerably slide (e.g.,
during a high-speed acceleration). Decrease
steering damping power, so increase the
number of clicks of the steering damper.
