Guys, has anyone of you came across with the sides of having a steering stabilizer aka damper on your bike? Normal road use with patches and holes? There are totally different opinions regarding this.

Sambung bayar is ridiculous. You're paying so much money every month for a bike that isn't even yours, which also has insurance implications.

Another stupid move is buying cheap Singapore or Thai bikes, bila jadi apa-apa terpaksa bikin fraud tipu itu tipu ini.
Some people angan-angan besar mau pakai motor hebat, tapi budget ketat. In the end, beli motor besar last-last mampu guna weekend je... itu pun kadang2... because cannot afford the running cost, which is always the killer surprise to big bike ownership. Hutang loan satu hal, tambah lagi insurans & roadtax pastu tambah lagi running cost... after 3 years samada sendiri tak tahan atau tak tahan bini membebel, terus jual motor tu...

Kalau duit berkepuk, syabas. Pejam mata, pilih motor & bayar.....

beli moto dengan loan, lepas tu pasang aksesori sana sini. cukup setahun kena renew roadtax/insurans, tukar tayar sepasang baru rasa realiti sebenar pakai big bike. beli boleh, bela belum tentu.

typical thing is straight tukar ekzos after keluar kedai. 

From my limited knowledge, steering dampers is to prevent tank slaps, because it makes turning the handle bars a little harder. Some steering dampers can be adjusted of course. Patches and holes dont really affect the dampers unless you hit the patches and holes at speed at your handlebars slap violently.

I have done some research and there are some China ones ( universally fitted, so on so forth ) but dont know if they are really good. Ohlins cost an arm and a leg. In the end abandoned the idea as its too expensive for me. Steering is something I dont trust a China made product too, if you know what I mean. Just my dua sen.

Apido Malaysia

Not cip cip

Yeah, I want that to avoid any loosening my hands of the handle grip once I hit the hole, which it just happened last week and I broke my rim. It was one hell of a frightening experience and luckily I managed to grip it back and avoided the tankslapping thingy.

I saw apido too and wondering about the quality. Many said we don't need it for normal road use. While some said, install it first and who knows you might need it one day.

but that being said, still got cars who blast out loud music or wearing earphones during driving, which even loud exhaust wont help.

Add more rice... tukar ekzos murah... fuel consumption naik & power loss, yapping kuat nyer minyak moto ni...
This, we need to use our left thumb...

Actually is the other way around,  the more you try to correct and fight with the bike /death grip your handle bars, the easier it is to worsen a tank slapper /high side.

I personally installed on my R25 because of how I ride.

Indeed, but my hands were totally off the handle bar and I was just like, touched it rather than gripping/correcting it.

Will a damper mitigate the tankslapping thing?

What do you mean by how you ride? How do you ride? Lol

So far never experienced tank slapper.

I new rider,  dunno how to ride,  so got as precaution.

I see. There's another friend of mine asked me not to buy any cheapo damper as it will cause more harms than good for the handling.

Apido, goody or nah-uh? Lol

Btw, which bike are you riding now? Feeling much better?
