bloody hell thats 6 ft long!!!, mines waggling giving it large out of bends, it was ok till i did the renthals and let Lloydie loose on the flywheel oh the joy of it all. Rode my mates Kawa 636 today, didn't like it, too cramped and bugger all off the bottom end, it did handle good but wasn't impressed, he shat himself on my storm, couldn't believe the low down grunt thingy. He may be hooked!!!

yes it is quite big and has to have a long stroke [fnar, fnar]


I only fitted it because I had the damper in my spares box when I quit racing and I run it on the lowest setting anyway, but even that has some damping. bike still wriggles when its pushed hard but a damper shouldn't be used to fix that, it should just be there to make sure any oscillation [big word day ] isn't going to escalate into a tank slapper.

interesting thing is when I fit a new front tyre it gets much more prone to speed weaves and as the tyre wears it calms right down. it has done it both times I fitted new front after I fitted Renthals, never did it before!

ive got a linear one fitted to where i assume the horn was mounted at one point. the bike didnt have a horn when i bought it though.
