GPR v4 steering damper

[Nick JacksonMember]

I’m looking at getting a GPR V4 damper for my 08 CRF and wondered if anyone has had any experience with them either on a Crf or other bike. They look very slim and are an underbar mount.

Thanks in advance

Nick

Cant help you with the GPR but can probably get you a better deal on the same as you have on your Tenere under bar as well. I have the same on my XR and Tenere. From what I can find out has more adjustments then the GPR

Let me know if you want me to find out.

Thanks TB , I like the damper on my Tenere , haven’t thought about it for the Crf and saw the GPR V4. I’ll be keen to hear feedback still but I’ll be in touch

Or post it here and we can all learn :huh:

So what do you think Deano ????

[Dwayne OMember]

Yeah, Sorry Nick but I think Deano is in the middle of moving house (back to Tamworth area) :whistle:
I`m sure he will provide some thoughts on the damper though

Hi Nick,

I bought one for my 520 and when i got the 690 it had one on it already. It’s the only damper i have used so nothing to compare it too. I think there is other brands that have a few more adjustments as TB mentioned but in the end it’s not something i play around with all the time while riding.

I have never had an issue with the one i had on the 520 but my current one on the 690 has an issue with the dial not reflecting what the dampening is. The only time i adjust it is high speed on the tar. I use it at max to take out any front wobble and then i back it off to around 3 for the trails. I usually don’t ride single trail so i find 3 is pretty good. I like it because it’s a under bar mount and is out of the way. I did however have dramas trying to find bar risers for it as nobody makes any.

Any other questions just let me know.

Hi Nick

I have had one on my DRZ now for a while and find it really good.
Easy to get at the adjuster and adjust it on the move .
For the money it is a great option!!!!
Come and check it out any time

Cheers

What ended up being the verdict on this one Jacko ????
Or did you grab an MSC ( Rallymoto )

I was looking at some this week & stumbled across the Rallymoto for the 690 at an amazing price :whistle:
It`s looking like a likely purchase I think

[Nick JacksonMember]

I didn’t get a damper in the end Eags , the Ralle Moto one didn’t fit and since then ive been too busy to look.

Could have used one lately though with the high speed offs I’ve had :p

I have the msc matrix underbar mount and bar risers on my 2012 model crf nick and its the greatest thing! It has a lot of adjustment and so far i have found it great for on road, sand and single trail. Its worth every cent i spent on it.

I highly recommend them.

I ended up grabbing the last RM1 Rallemoto kit for the 690.

I realise it may not be as flash or adjustable as the new whizbang Matrix units,,,
But for $420 delivered including the risers and CNC fitting kit (which is needed to fit the 690 trellis frame and ignition switch) I am stoked
Last time I looked at them they were $895 :whistle:
