Steering stabilizer on 929rr

ZUKIMON · 02-09-2009, 03:30 PM

I was talking to a friend at lunch and he said that he has heard of a lot of guys pulling the Scotts style off in favor of the piston type. He said that he couldn't remember what they said about them other than they claimed that it nearly crashed them a time or two....Does this make sense, or is it user error??

rotary styles came from the dirt world and supposedly have a dead space in the middle where they dont really damp. pistons have typically come from the superbike ilk. lotta guys racing with both though

I've put more than 40k in street and track miles with a rotary and never noticed a dead spot.

To be honest, what he told me what info that he has heard from some of his other friends that ride and that have had the rotary style (not sure if they were Scotts or not). He, just like I, has no personal experience with them, only the piston type.

I would really like to try a rotary type myself, as it just seems like a much cleaner instal.

The higher settings on the rotary type are stiffer than the piston type. I had an Ohlins on my TLS so I've had both kinds. Was your buddy trying to hang a U-turn or make a low speed turn with the rotary set on high?

I keep the Scotts on my GSXR set at about 1/4 for street riding and turn it up to about 3/4 for trackdays only.
