Mine turned up today, looks well made and an easy fitment, going out testing this afternoon. What setting are you guys using? And how hard is your dial to turn ? | ||
| Nillaice |
start out at 0. get used to it and slowly dial it up. i haven't gone past 12 BE CAREFUL AT SLOWER SPEEDS it makes you turn slower and slow speed tip overs are more likely | ||
| Nillaice |
the dial is easy to turn and has good feel to the adjustment clicks, like the rear suspension setting has clicks | ||

Mine is very stiff, really have to squeeze fingers on it to turn, not tried it on the move yet but imagine hard to adjust when riding ? | ||

And what do you use as the marker indicator ? Mine spins and spins, obviously gets stiffer the more clockwise you go but I can do more that a 360degree turn on the adjuster ? | ||

I got mine right when they came out with a kit for the CR so it's probably 8 months old now. Lately it has been sweating fluid out. Not leaking but you can tell the seals are going out. Still works fine but it's going to need a rebuild soon. I'm kinda surprised, seems too soon to go out, but their website says its normal. I usuall keep it on #8 setting.

Mine is usually between 10-12. When riding I don't even notice it there for parking lot speeds. | ||

I run around 9 or 10 on mine. Don't crank it up on the freeway or else you will be in for a surprise when you get off and try to turn at low speeds! | ||

Leaving mine on #5, easy to turn dial. Nice and steady to at least indicated 141. Before the damper I'd start bar-waving at 90 and would start to poop my pants by 130. | ||

anyone have both the GPR and EBr/Ohlins to compare the two? Price wise they are close and curious since i'm considering getting a dampener down the road... | ||

have both GPR and Ohlins. GPR is easier to use, Ohlins has been set and forget. i always left the GPR on 7. when it spins all the way around the GPR starts over. tim | ||

I run mine at 5 and its very easy to spin but has a nice positive click feel at each number. Straight forward it the "indicator". I got in on the very first batch of them with no signs of "sweat or leak" as of yet. | ||

I have one on my track bike 07 XB12R, I run it on 4, does a great job. | ||

i keep mine on 9 for normal around town and 12-14 for aggressive riding and fun fact, there's only 18notches even tho the dial goes to 20 | ||

> anyone have both the GPR and EBr/Ohlins to compare the two? I have the Ohlins unit, and I've ridden a bike with the GPR, and for me it's not even a contest: The Ohlins wins hands down. I use mine about 3 clicks off minimal. In my opinion, even at the lowest setting, the GRP is way too stiff. Based on what I've read, I think a lot of guys here are using the damper to correct for headshake under throttle, and that's spooky to me. Set that stiff, the front end can't quickly correct for bumps and uneven pavement naturally. Instead of twitching, that input ends up in the front tire, using up available traction and increasing the likelihood of pushing the front end or even a low side. ... and it just makes the bike hard to steer. The damper is designed to take enough energy out of a serious, sustaining oscillation that would become a tank slapper. It's NOT meant to be something that keeps the bike steady despite a lot of poor rider input. Setting that damper up that high will cover up a lot of other rider problems. Just my worthless opinion. | ||

Well 120 hard miles done yesterday, started at 1 got to 11, ended up back at 6, over 150 and all was nice and stable but still allows me to flic direction easily. Once on the move with gloves on it was fairly easy to adjust. Thanks, a worthwhile investment.  | ||

where do you get the ohlins unit? | ||
| Smoke |
E.B.R. has the Ohlins unit. tim | ||

Looks good! What master cylinder are you running? | ||

Ahhh, I see the Ohlins on Erik Buell Racing now... I am guessing that it doesn't fit the CR though? (Message edited by bhillberg on July 28, 2011) | ||

If you want to feel some unusual handling, run the damper at 5 or more for several months, then turn it to zero and ride a while. | ||

My dial is pretty stiff, but turnable. One thing I've started noticing: I'm getting a little oily sheen around the dial, as if it's weeping a little. Anyone else see this? | ||
| Smoke |
may fit the cr as it attaches to the lower bolt for the fairing /instrument cluster on the r and the fork leg. not sure if the cr has a bolt through the frame in front of the lower triple tree bearing though. tim |
