Plymouth Steering Dampers

Steering Dampers are an extremely useful component of your motorcycle's front suspension system. When the front of the motorcycle tracks over uneven pavement, loose surfaces or lifts off the ground and returns at an awkward steering angle, a phenomenon known as "steering wobble" occurs. These dampers are designed specifically to counteract the tendency for instability inherent in a motorcycle's front end, especially the sportier models out there.

The motorcycle steering damper is generally attached to the frame via the steering yoke. Effectively, these work much like a shock absorbing damper. What they do is help the front end ride over rough surfaces and keep the bike turning in the direction intended.

Steering dampers are particularly useful on very sporty, or racing-oriented bikes. This is because the more aggressive the steering geometry, ie. the more responsive the front end, the more sensitive it is and therefore, more likely to change direction suddenly and without warning.For high-performance applications,proper steering dampers will help your motorcycle inspire confidence.

Q: What is a steering damper? Why buy one?
A: Steering dampers attach to your vehicles steering system and act as shock absorbers for your steering wheel. As you drive down the road and your vehicle hits bumps and pot holes the wheels can shake violently and that motion would normally be transmitted all the way back to the steering wheel where the wheel would try to jerk out of your hands. With steering dampers kickback and vibrations from the wheels are greatly reduced so that you can maintain safe control of your vehicle even in rough conditions. Heavy duty steering dampers are available for people who frequent rough roads or for those who have upgraded to larger wheels and tires that provide more kickback than normal. If you have gone to bigger rubber, a heavy duty steering damper is a must have addition in order to keep your ride safe and controllable.
