[How is it used?
Since I do a lot of touring on highways, I decided to install a steering damper to improve high speed stability. The product is FZ400. (4YR) It is for the FZS600, but it can also be used with the FZS600 without any problem.
Was the one you received as per Image?
The color of the DamperBody is Gold, which is like an OHLINS color. It's not a color that I don't like, but I would have preferred the ODM-2000 Series Gun meta color to match the body color, but I'm a little disappointed that I can't choose the color.
Was the installation difficult?
I adjusted the position of the bracket on the front fork side to be 40mm above the trifecta (the instruction manual specifies 51mm). Also, the pillow ball joint between the bracket on the damper body and the bracket on the frame side moves too much and makes a pushing noise when the damper body moves up and down. So, I inserted an O-Ring of an appropriate size into the pillow ball part to suppress the movement of the DamperBody. I also applied screw lock fluid to all the bolts used for installation and fixed them in place.
How was your experience with it?
Originally, I installed the Steering Damper for stability at high speed straight ahead, but I didn't expect that it would stabilize my posture while cornering and make cornering easier.
There are 7 levels of damper switching, but even with the 7th level, which is the heaviest, I didn't feel any inconvenience even when driving in the city. I usually use the 6th gear.
Initially I was going to use ODM-2000 in Gun meta color, but I changed Handlebar to Quantity:Pair (for Left and Right) I measured the amount of movement (Strokes) when cutting to 125mm in advance, so the Strokes were 125mm.:I decided that I might not be able to use the 120mm ODM-2000, so I purchased the Stroke 130mm ODM-3000. When I actually installed it on the car body, I found that if I devised a way to install it, it would be possible to use the Stroke:I felt like I could use Limit even with the 120mm ODM-2000.
[Included Parts:were they on?
All the necessary parts for installation are included.
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
It would be nice to have a choice of several colors for the damper body, and it's a little disappointing that when the damper is mounted on the car body, more than half of it is obscured by the Inner cover of the Upper Cowl.
Other items that would be helpful
Point and hang/notes for installation:It is better to install it on the car body in a temporary state to check the position of each bracket and make sure there is no problem with the movement of the Handlebar before tightening the Bolt.
Items to buy together:I think it is safer to use a low-strength screw lock fluid to secure the Bolt.
