Do you really need one on a 313cc light motorbike?

In my opinion, It is increase stability when speed at 140 km/h.

 

[porth]

What type of bike did you have previously, are you experiencing any problems at the moment with the G310R at speed?

Steering damper at a G310 ??????
I have never experienced any instability at any speed.
In my opinion the beamer is very stable and does not need a steering damper.


Or, how are your roads ?

 

[i am 99]

No problem on my G310r at that speed. More roads is rugged roads in country side.

 

[porth]

Don't drive 140km/h on rugged roads

 

[imedemit]

maybe he's just like me..i'm a 58 kg weight man..with this weight, my gs can lose a control when riding up to 140 kmh

If you can do 140 kmh on a rough road ............... talk to the guys that go to Argentina, Peru and Bolivia for the 2018 Paris-Dakar.
Find a good GPS and train a little bit and you will be able to become the next P-D winner.


Just kidding,
It's not my cup of tea (anymore) to do 140 kmh on dirt roads.
I stick to nice tarmac roads with many twists and bends and as the icing on the cake, mountain roads.


That makes me very happy

Mountains in the Netherlands? :grin2:

 

[Tickster]

Oh yes.

 

[WoodWorks]

Hah! That's the Netherlands? :laugh: Must be one of them dikes to keep the North Sea out.

Mountains in the Netherlands? :grin2:

Having lived in the Netherlands I can attest that their Mountains are at least 300m high! :grin2:

Thanks Porth for your support ;-)


No we don't have mountains in the Netherlands.
A mountain is a mountain if it reaches 1500+ meters. The nearest peak is also the highest point in the Netherlands (Vaalserberg)


But the area were I live, down south, we have hills and many winding roads.
It takes me maby 30 - 50 minutes to get into the Eifel mountain area in Germany or into the Ardennes (Belgium) or Luxemburg (Lux is only, on backroads, 110 km)
So you can see, enough fun driving to do.


If I really start riding, I can go to Switzerland, Austria or France in a day's ride ..................
Enough to choose (to see mountains)

 

[whatever]

I am curious that did you end up with a steering damper installed??

I don't think steering damper will help. "R" is not designed for rough roads at speed. Suspension was not designed for it. You could try softening the suspension a bit to help absorb shocks. You need a "GS" if you want to ride on rough roads.
