Lol, 100 quid. Lol, Amazon. Mail me the money or set it on fire either is a better use of the money than the Chinese paperweight that would get you off Amazon.
The front end is very light under acceleration and I have experienced wobble at higher speeds.
I suppose a counter argument would be the geometry etc but I feel a damper would counter this as it did for my friends gsxr.
What are your recommendations?
A damper is a bandaid on a bullet wound. Putting a damper on some clapped out, ill serviced suspension is going to do nothing. You start by addressing the simple things like cleaning & lubing suspension pivots & axles. After you've checked tire pressures with a properly benchmarked gauge.
GSXRs come with linear dampers from the factory... and they are pretty worthless BUT if you roadrace dampers are required so that's one less thing to buy. Hondas come with electronic ones... total junk.
nope... you can do all that yourself. Simple hand tools and some waterproof grease. You can even do it in stages.
Most of the suspension fasteners are 14,17, or 19mm. The swingarm requires a special fitting to properly torque but thats $34 USD.
