K100rs 16v steering damper
« on: October 10, 2015, 08:15:56 AM »
My steering damper is oil,I don't mind buying a new one but is it needed or of any advantage.I believe they were only fitted to the K1 & K100rs 16v so wonder why the very similar K1100rs seems to manage well without one.Any thoughts/opinions welcome.

Update: Been for a few rides on differing roads since removing damper and bike handles as well as ever with no noticeable difference.
