    Well after a silly get off this afternoon I’ve broken my steering damper

    The nob that changes the settings was snapped off and oil now leaks out, few questions

    Can you get parts for the dampers or have to buy a new unit?

    How hard are they to strip down, service and do the repair myself?

    Cheers guys

    Sorry I thought you rode a X, the dampers only come on a R dont they? How did you damage it? I saw a box of those dampers at GHR years ago from their R’s they just ripped them of and binned them and fitted Scott’s. E bay would be worth a look I reckon :)

    BTW if you reckon they actually do something wait till you ride a bike with a proper damper ;)

    The X definitely has them. I read something on the net years ago on putting heavier oil in them to make them a bit more effective.
    I would put the money towards a scott one though.

    Hey Rookie, I have a brand new one that i am willing to part with if you are interested?
    I took it off mine and it’s done zero k’s. I put a msc dampner on at westerns before I picked it up.
