I am looking for someone who can help me set up the dial in on the GPR steering damper. There is not a mark for dial indicator. Haven't been able to figure out yet. I went to GPR's site and was not able to download the set up instructions. Thanks for your help Micah |

I set mine to 11. Maybe I'm not understanding your question. |

Looking at the GPR from the rider's view you will see numbers, from 0 to 20 counter-clockwise. 0 is the least amount of damping while 20 is the most (or stiffest). If the 0 is on the top of the dial just below the and in line with the "P" in GPR, this is the least amount of damping. Turning the knob clockwise will increase the amount of damping. Mine is currently set on 1 and it works fine for me. Your results may vary. (Message edited by Paint shaker on April 26, 2009) |

Glad you got the info you were looking for. Paint, set on 1? Mine's on 11. there must be an internal difference between our GPR's |

For Racing: you should set it up as low as possible...and adjust as needed if you get any headshake. Remember the higher you set it, the more effort it takes to "flick" the bike from side to side. (Will wear you out quicker). Hope this helps. By the way...I think out stabalizer is set maybe 2-3 clicks...not much at all. Jaycent Gebers #5 Old Glory Buell AMA PRO Moto-GT |

I'm always learning. Next time at the track I'm going to lighten up my settings to see if it will help in the esses. In most turns I don't notice it, but I do remember that in the esses the bike feels heavy. One thing I have done is raise the fork tubes in the triple clamps which really seemed to help with turning. |

I know its a little off subject of the Gpr...but a tid bit on the handling thing....Make sure you try one thing at a time..so you know what change you are feeling. Also if the rear end sits up a little higher it will turn in better. Jaycent Gebers #5 Old Glory Buell AMA PRO Moto-GT |

Also if the rear end sits up a little higher it will turn in better. What's the tradeoff? Or what happens if the rear end sets too high might be a better question? |

Sorry for the delay... It is normal to lower the front a little for quicker "turn in" but raising the rear has the same effect. We use a wider/taller tire than most (190/55) that helps with this effect. I don't know where the limit is on the rear...but you need to be able to touch the ground!! lol Jaycent Gebers #5 Old Glory Buell AMA PRO Moto-GT |
