2017 Husqvarna TE250 Scotts Steering Damper Install
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 сер 2024
- Shows how to install a Scotts sub-mount steering damper on a 2017 Husqvarna TE250. The install is the same for 2017 KTM EXC Sixdays 2-stroke and 4-stroke bikes. Standard model 2017 KTM EXC models do not require the 10mm speedo mount spacers as the cast triple clamps are different.

Excellent video, a calm man who is experienced rather than a guy yelling a script at me
Well done. Enjoyed watching this. The precision of your work is inspiring. Thank you.
Great video, really appreciate all of the torque settings and the bolt sizes on the replacements as well as the tap size. That type of info can be time consuming to find.
Yea, i enjoyed that.
Thank you for taking time out to make a video of that fitting.
You always impress me with your knowledge and expertise...well done sir!!
Thanks! Hopefully it makes it easier for people doing similar installs...
Good man removing the forks! I think this should be done regardless, so you can be sure everything goes back on square and parallel.
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Very helpful. I love how you have careful attention to detail.
What a fantastic vid, You could work on my bikes any day, Great work dude
Nice touch machining out those spacers.
Hi, today I mounted my new Scotts damper in my 2019 Husqvarna FE 250, the process is the same as in the video, as the triple clamper is the same, and thank you for your video, it is very precise and detailed, but I have 2 problems.
First, when I torqued the frame bracket to 10 Nm, it was not enough, after all the parts installed I moved the handlebar right and left, to see if the damper work and the frame bracket rotated to one side, so it was not well tightened, the 10 Nm was not enough, don't know why.
Then I disassembled all again, looked at the head tube, it was cleaned, no lub or grease, maybe the tint was very smooth... so I removed the tint with a file, cleaned all with brake cleaner and mounted the bracket again, but this time I torqued it a little more, 15 Nm... all mounted again, moved the handlebar right and left, and the frame bracket did not rotate this time, but it leaned back, now I have maybe 2 mm of the head tube of the frame above the frame bracket, only in the rear part, and the spindle stayed close to rear of the arm link, not in the center of the hole, as it might be... don't know what am I doing wrong.
I bought the Scotts damper apart from the mounting kit, could the link arm be short for this bike/setup? I did measure between the center of the holes of the link arm and get 40mm.
Anyone knows the length between holes of the correct link arm for these 2019 Huskvarnas ?
Thanks
Once again, fantastic footage! Well done. Feel like getting a lathe now.
Yes, it great being able to make custom spacers and other parts quickly. No home should be without a lathe and mill... ;-)
Excellent video, very well broken down
Very nice video. Thank you
Very well explained. Thank you!!!
Impressive that your spacer came out exactly 2.95 mm.
muy buenas cual es el diametro de la abrazadera que va a la pipa de dirección?
Bummer the NEKEN triple clamps won't work with my new 500 EXC! I love the clamps on my 300 xcw and my XCF!
Hi...have a question about the big rubber seal that goes around the steering stem jus above the clamp...which way round does it go...don't remember which way it was when I took it off...pls help...thanks
Hi. Do you have any vids explaining your personal views/recommendations on the Scott? Thanks
hola podrías mostrar como funciona el ajuste de la horquilla las 3 posiciones en mi moto esta muy difícil
Great video, thank you. I'm about to do this task over the next few weeks but am wondering how big of a necessity it is to remove the front tire and lover triple clamp? Based on the video it's not clear to me why that was required, or maybe i just need to watch it again
Thanks and pleased that you enjoyed the video. You can leave the front wheel and forks assembled if you like. But you will need to use a strap (tie down works) to stop the lower triple clamp sliding out while you have the top triple clamp off. Eg you could have a tie down going from the axle, round the frame top tube and down to the other side of the axle. But I prefer to remove the wheel and forks as it only takes a couple of minutes and then you can easily install everything without the use of straps (and can inspect and grease the lower triple clamp bearing too).
Well, first of all, thanks for the detailed Informations. Second, the damper will cost about more than 600 Euro. Will the advantage of this amount will be worth every penny?
Hobby Endurist - Cheaper if you buy from the US. Some people like steering dampers and others don't. If you ride a lot of roots and rocks you'll probably like it and having one installed may help prevent you crashing. Only you can decide whether that is worth the cost.
Enjoying the tutorial videos. Just wondering if a steering damper is necessary unless you guys are doing really flat out open riding?
Having a steering damper fitted allows me to ride more relaxed and I'm certain reduces the chances of high siding due to the front wheel deflecting off something. Certainly at medium to high speeds...
Thanks Mark. I have a question... With the addition of the Scotts mount plate to the top triple clamp, you effectively raise the handlebar height by the corresponding amount. Is that correct or did I miss something? I went back to the beginning of the video and it appears as though the original mount were used on top of the mount plate...?
Yes, the bar height is raised by about 25mm if a sub mount is used. If you don't want to raise the bar height you can either use a sub mount and lower bend bars, or use a top mount system which doesn't change the bar height. I prefer the sub mount as I like having my bars higher than stock and also you are less likely to hit the steering damper in a crash.
Getting ready to install one on my 18 xcw, if I need to remove slag from the weld, should I touch up the frame paint to prevent rust? or will just a good smearing of grease do the trick?
If you can paint it it’s a good idea as it will provide more permanent rust protection than grease.
wow! i wish you were my friend. The precise work is amazing. I have a question tho once you instal that damper you bar sits higher up and that would be a problem for me because the way they are stock is just perfect for me. Any ways around that? Again amazing vid
Thanks. If you want to keep the bars at stock height and fit a Scotts steering damper you have two choices: 1) Use a top mount 2) Use a sub-mount with a low bars (which Scotts do sell- search for Steering Damper Low- EVO). If you don't mind the steering damper above the bars the top mount solution would be the cheapest as you can use your current bars.
Thank you so much. Just looked it up and top mount position #2 is good for me. Thanks again
Is it necessary to remove the forks? Looks possible without the remove.
It's much easier if you remove the forks as it's not as heavy and only take a couple of minutes to remove the fork legs.
@@TokyoOffroad just done it on my bike, you were right :D
Great video, thorough and quick ... is this the same install for the KTM 500 exc-f 2017 .. thanks
Yes, the install should be almost the same. The only difference may be the speedo clearance required around the steering stabilizer frame mount. My advice is to fit the stabilizer as shown in the video, then check carefully for any possible clearance issues.
What country are you in , I noticed signal lights . Are they factory ? I have a 2016 TE 250 and want to make is street legal
Japan. The bike shown in the video has KTM factory front turn signals and aftermarket rear turn signals. It's difficult to recommend the KTM signals for offroad use as they are quite large and can be broken quite easily (either the lens breaks, or the rubber stalk snaps off). On my bike I use Tuff Lites on the front and ebay purchased low profile LED turn signals on the rear. If using LED turn signals you'll also need to fit a solid state flasher relay and diodes on the turn signal indicator lamp.
How big is the improvment? I stop useing them in like 08!
Conny Sjöström - I tend to relax more when riding with a steering damper. Also have fewer crashes.
nice job! didnt straighten ur front wheel thou , shouldnt of torqued triple clamps till the front wheel was on and compressed the forks a few times other then that thou good video.
Ray Eh - Good point. We straightened the front wheel using the method you described (shown in my wheel alignment video). Video was running rather long so didn't video that part.
Tokyo Offroad ya awesome video thou , u showed everything else very good. Started my bike today for the first time since we got snow in november , started up right away with the new vforce 4s and idles awesome , last year when i put it away the idle was all over the place cause my reeds were not sealed properly , also got the better metering rod from lectron so it should run amazing now just gotta put it in, just took the bike down the rd cause theres still tons of ice and snow but it was awesome to get back on it for just 20 min , cant wait till the snow is gone and ill do a good video on my parts i got for it over the winter.
What I would do for a friend like you
Nice working!
Do you add spacer like that on other stock area?
No, the stock triple clamp supports the handlebar clamps no problem. I only add spacers when fitting the steering damper sub-mount to provide more support...
Second, which grease do you use for the mounting, the green one?
Hobby Endurist - grease is only required on the pin. A general purpose waterproof grease is fine. I use Motorex 2000
What does it do and do you think it’s worth it?
A steering damper helps stop the front wheel being deflected when you hit rocks etc at speed. It allows me to relax more while riding and not grip the bars so tightly. I think they are worth the cost as a quality unit like the Scotts will last 10 years, or more.
Please cut me the bolts and spacers needed and send them to US..thanks
I'll be happy to make the spacers you need and ship to the US. Please contact me on so we can discuss your exact requirements: www.tokyooffroad.com/contact/
Will do!
anyone who what is the torque wrench?????
All my torque wrenches are made by Tohnichi. The one in the video, used to torque the fork triple clamps, is a QL50N-MH www.tohnichi.com/products/adjustable-torque-wrench-QLMH.htm
thanks
How many orangutans had to die for that jacket Mark? No respect for the environment as usual 😂😂🇦🇺🇦🇺
LOL. That's Simon, the TE250 owner in the orange jacket!
