Scotts stabalizer

[Cberg]

Just installed a Scotts damper on my 2011 Nambo and got out on 2 rides over the weekend. I have to say WOW !! This is definetely one of the best bolt on pieces I have ever put on a bike. I had never tried one before and will never own a bike without one again. AWESOME !!!!

Cheers.

That's what most people say.
The real wow comes after you really get used to it and then jump on a bike without one. It'll scare you and you'll then truly wonder how you ever rode a bike without one.

It saves me once a ride I reckon!

Out of curiosity what settings are you guys using?

I run the low speed out 8 to 12 clicks, and have the high speed sensitivity set at 1 turn out (.5 turn more sensitive, 1.5 is stock). This gives minimal resistance until you hit something that deflects the wheel, then it comes on hard. This is what will save you, and why I would only run the Scotts or the Fastway(same operation). If I'm riding in sand at medium to high speeds I'll crank up the low speed to 4 - 6 clicks out, but turn it back down when back in the woods.

I'm the same high speed with the stock sweep settings, I don't use much low speed, 4 clicks from all the way out, if you have it all the way out it gets notchy, if I'm doing a very open ride or going on a graded road I'll wind in another whole turn as its great for powerslides and low hand turning

I don't do much sand riding.

GMP, I used your high speed setting and like it a LOT. Out of curiosity, what sweep setting do you use in the woods?
Thanks!

Mine is stiil set on the stock settings. I don't want to start changing until I get some more seat time with it, also the rides I was on with it never had the long hill climbs with big jagged rocks like most of the area's I ride. It did work great though and I felt way faster riding through the roots and over big log crossings. Never felt any arm pump or fatigue at all !!

I love my Scotts Steering Damper. It has saved me several times.

Recently came across the Ohlins SD2.1 steering damper - used but the guys is selling for $250 vs normal price of $700. Very nice looking damper. But when trying to find out if it will fit a 2012 300, I am having no luck finding any info for it. One would think Ohlins makes a mount for our newer GG's......

Any input or advice would be great.

Thanks

What bike is the Ohlins from?
From my Ohlins rep........These dampers can be moved but it is not very cheap. The race retails for around $250.00 and the nut for the steering stem is around $100.00 as well. For him to change bikes would be a little pricey. It may be better for him to buy a new damper so he can get the warranty. He could save a few bucks but in the end it may not be worth it.
