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.: High-frequency wobbling: the motorcycle steering will undergo fast movements due to an impulse (e.g., when landing after a wheelie). increase steering damping power, so decrease the number of clicks of the steering damper. 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. 1 Fig 165 - 263
