- Ohlins Steering Dampers Review
www.revzilla.co...
Öhlins was founded in 1976 by motocross rider Kenth Öhlins who was busy designing exhausts, engines, and suspensions to give him a “go fast” advantage. Over the years Öhlins has developed a reputation for building some of the highest quality suspensions available. Their steering dampers utilize the same attention to detail and technology as employed with their suspensions. An Öhlins steering damper offers an easy to use, easy to install option that is a premium upgrade improving handling over your stock unit.

I have a 2001 R1, and I've always wondered what exactly this was. Thank you guys for helping with general knowledge of these parts.
Just pick up my 2019 ZX6R !!! Got the Ohlins steering damper installed and ready to ride. I was just gathering some info on the Ohlins damper for knowledge. Thanks for the video!!!
Got frame sliders as well.
Just picked one of these ups for my 09 R6. Always thought it was crazy that it never came with one stock but I am glad I got this one. My only complaint is the price, but this is the best money can buy so I hope it is worth it!
It's 3x overpriced. Blows my mind
Don’t know if the responses are still active on this video but I’ve been wanting one on my street glide after riding another street glide with one it felt really nice on the freeway compared to mine
Quick question, just installed this on my bike. Even at the weakest settings, turning the steering is VERY difficult. I admit that I bought it used. What do you think the problem is? I was told that at the weakest settings, it should feel like the damper is not there.
Maybe your stabilizer needs service,try to check the fluid inside,and yes at 0scale out of 18,it should feel like thereis not even on the bike,also check your tire pressure,and your front suspension is set correctly,as an owner of a ninjaZX10R I have this ohlins scale 10 of 18,and still 2nd and 3rd gear close to rev limiter I feel strong vibrations,adjust it to your own riding style,ride safe cheers!
Since you folks sell to All types of Motorsports, perhaps you can weigh-in. Why are linear-style dampers Not seen on dirt/enduro/Dual-Sport bikes ? They are often OE on sportbikes; but, on off-road it seems that folks rely almost exclusively on ‘pod-type’ (e.g. Scotts) ….. 🤔
this product is over $400 dollars? over priced? what will be the difference between this and a much cheaper unit?
1. Do you recommend putting a steering damper on a 2016 Ninja 300 KRT ABS? Ride around 40 MPH speed, mostly in town and occasionally on minor motorways at around 70 MPH. New rider :-)
2. If yes, will these Ohlins one fit? If not, then do you sell or recommend any which do fit my bike?
THANK YOU!
No, you don't really need a steering damper for those riding conditions. -DrewZilla
if only schools' teaching is this interesting...
He refers to measuring two time in the vid however I don’t see what you would have to measure and see nothing regarding measuring in the instructions/package. Seems real simple to install, basically swap two bolts and done. Am I missing something? I have a BMW S1000R. thanks
For the S1000R, you don't need to measure. You aren't missing anything. -DrewZilla

I have a 2002 R6 and my riding style on the street is pretty average but I was wondering if I would still require to have one to prevent any wobbling?
It isn't required, and you probably don't need one if you're riding casually on the street. -DrewZilla
RevZilla sounds good thanks!
can I install a damper on any bike (I have a Ktm Duke 200 )
+Chief AzN Dampers usually require bike-specific mounts. Therefore, you cannot mount just any damper on any bike. We don't have anything for the Duke 200, but you should be able to find a specific application elsewhere. -DrewZilla
do you make this set up for can am rykeer rally 2022, trying to solve super sensitive steering. just touch handle bar an bike reacts.
on a cbr600 theres an electronic steering damper... can this just be an add on or do i need to disable it as well?
+MrTopGunnar We only have Ohlins dampers to fit up to the 2006 CBR600RR. If your model as the HESD electronic damper, you might not need a different damper. -DrewZilla
I have a 07 zx6r and i have one of these installed , came with the bike so i thought i try it out. I put if half way and it was fine through the highway ride in the wide exit turns , you feel the stability but how ever when you are coming to a stop at a light it doesn't let you move the steering left and right quickly to balance the bike , so it makes it feel like its wobbling or about to slide out under you. With that being said what setting should i use it at and should i leave it at that setting or turn it off when im just commuting where there are lot of stop signs and lights?
+ebubekir binici For stop and go traffic, you would likely prefer a lower setting. It's really up to you to decide what you like. -DrewZilla
+RevZilla the hyperpro one and the long hydraulic part moves/shifts up and down is that normal? Not where the bolts are but the outter layer of the rod
Does a steering damper help control your bike when it's windy? I'd assume so but I thought I'd ask. I have an 06 CBR600RR and I'd feel better going on the interstate (mostly a bridge going over the water and it's windy) with one. Would it help or am I just being nervous?
Yes, it can help stabilize your bike in the wind. -DrewZilla
Are the for late model only or can I put one in a 95 model motorbike?
Can u Make them Available? for Yamaha R6
Hehehe 'Polytetrafluoroethylene, say that again ten times faster, polyFLOUROtetraethyline'
About how much torque is necessary on the triple clamp steering nut? I have a Yamaha R6 and as I'm riding at slower speeds, the bike feels wobbly. Not sure if it's because it's too tight or too loose as I've had trouble finding the torque spec for my bike. I feel like it was riding better without the Ohilis steering damper.
+Pedro Did the instructions not include the appropriate torque settings for your bike? If not, you may need to consult your bike's factory service manual for appropriate specs. -DrewZilla
Mine was 100 Nm
Hola seria compatible con Kawasaki z900 año 2018?
Do you have for kawasaki z900
No, we do not have an Ohlins Steering Damper for a Z900 unfortunately. Apologies for any inconvenience! -DrewZilla
Do you have any suggestion for my 2015 zx-6r. I don't go to track but my riding style on the street is pretty aggressive ( most of the time 3/4 throttle).
Take a look at the Ohlins option for your bike. -DrewZilla

When I go 95+ on my XS750 the front wobbles, would a steering damper get rid of that?
+Conrad Ulysses Trybus It would likely help. You should also check your steering head bearings as well as wheel/tire balance. -DrewZilla
+RevZilla Thanks.
nice! intending to get some measurements done to put this up on my XSR900. Due to the common damper clamps on ohlins dampers, do you think the dampers still function the way the should if they are mounted in a somewhat "slanted" position? The damper mount i got comes with a damper clamp that is meant to accommodate round shaped dampers such as hyperpro, china mades, matris, etc. Thanks!
I don't seem to be able to find ohlins damper clamps that mount on the mounting kit from the bottom of the clamp. I always see the common "sideway" mounting clamps.
As long as you get free movement throughout the whole range of motion lock to lock, you should be fine. -DrewZilla
Just got an XSR900. Was it worth it over how it feels factory?
I have one on my zx6r 2009 and no matter which way I spin the knob it does nothing for me. How do you fix these?
It's hard to know what the exact issue is without seeing the damper in person. If it's an Ohlins steering damper, you can contact Ohlins directly for troubleshooting. -DrewZilla
RevZilla yes it is the exact one in the video. Thank you.
5:30 Are you kidding?? It is the easiest possible install.
I have an Ram iPhone holder will that get in way of Ram.
It depends on the specific RAM mount you have and how the specific Ohlins damper mounts to your bike. If you use a steering stem RAM mount and the Ohlins damper mounts to your steering stem, then you'd have an issue. Otherwise, you probably won't have an issue if you use a bar-mount RAM mount. -DrewZilla
Thanks for the intel 0:56- 1:49 so key
Do you have one for the mv agusta f3?
Currently, we do not have one for the MV Agusta F3. -DrewZilla
Do you guys have one for cbr600 2007-2009, zx6r 2007-2009 and gsxr600 2007-2009?
For the Honda, we only have one for 2005-2006. For the Kawasaki, we only have them for 2009-2012 and 2013-2018 (US model years, so the 2009-2012 won't work for you). For the Suzuki, yes, we have an option. -DrewZilla

How dose a oem online damper (like u get standard on a zx6r) compair to one u can purchase
It depends on the quality of the stock damper and the quality of the aftermarket damper. If a bike has an Ohlins damper as stock, then it's going to be great quality. The stock damper on the ZX6R should be pretty good if I recall correctly. -DrewZilla
I can't find one for bike Ducati Monster 821 2016 model
Unfortunately, we do not have any to fit your Monster. -DrewZilla
Can I put one on a 2004 Honda cbr600rr?
If you check out our parts finder on our website, you will see if we offer anything for both of your bikes. Check out the link below or reach out to our Gear Geeks at 877.792.9455 or cs@revzilla.com. Ride safe - Pat

MT09SP or FZ09SP in the US. Do you have a link to the correct damper i need.
It looks like Ohlins does not offer a damper yet. -DrewZilla
Anything for the Triumph Street Cup? Steering damper?
No, we currently do not have any steering damper options for the Street Cup. -DrewZilla

I want an electronic steering damper for Zx6r 2019, along with the code for ecu, can u help ?
Unfortunately, no, we don't have anything compatible for you. -DrewZilla
I saw that there is one available for the BMW S1000RR, will that one fit the BMW S1000R (single R) as well?
No, the model for the double-R is not compatible with the single-R. -DrewZilla
04 YZF R1 I Would like to install a aftermarket dampner so i can have the adjustability the OEM SITS infront of my steering assembly would it be a pretty easy installation to switch to olliens
Yes, it's an easy switch to Ohlins. The specific piece will come with mounting hardware and instructions. -DrewZilla

.is steering damper need in ktm rc 390 .if it really necessary suggest me please
You might only need one if you're actually racing on a race track. -DrewZilla
RevZilla thankyou
What do you think of a mupo am 01 (s1)? I have a yamaha r6 2009
We don't have much experience with Mupo, but they seem to be high quality. -DrewZilla
thank you RevZilla
You're welcome! -DrewZilla
is there a Steering Damper available for 2019 Honda CB650r?
So far, no, we do not have any available for that model. -DrewZilla
Order from Thailand
I am using one
@@magmafist Careful A LOT of fakes in SE Asia. They look like real Ohlins but they are NOT and the major differences are in the internal components, so do be careful when buying esp in SE Asia.
Do these fit the FZ-09? It doesn't look like they do, but I swear I've seen FZ-09s with Ohlins steering dampers...
We do not have an Ohlins kit for the FZ-09, but it's possible others have made an Ohlins fit. The only option we have is a GPR stabilizer. -DrewZilla
*www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/gpr-v4-stabilizer-yamaha-fz-09-2014-2017
I was thinking about getting the V4, but the online reviews I've read don't seem to be very positive. Quite a few people seem to have leaks after a few months (something I doubt the Ohlins suffer from). What's your impression in terms of their quality? It's a fairly heavy investment...
We don't have any long term experience personally, and only 1 of the reviews on the site noted leaks, though it was multiple times. The issue seems limited. Ohlins is likely better if you can find a mount. -DrewZilla
Here are some Umlaute for you: ÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖ and ööööööööööööö. Feel free to request more if you run out of supply **drool**
So will polytetrafluorethylene make my bike go faster😂
Wish they sold these in black 🙄
check out the ohlins blackline dampers
$600-$700 for a simple crafted piece of metal and some fluid, smh
Thats not how its pronouce! Jesusm why dont you pronounce the "L" and "i"
a chinese version does the same job lol , for 6% of the cost of the ohlins
theres a reason why its cheap as hell... because its CHEAP as hell bud
I would never buy something cheap that is so important for your life if it breaks. Like their helmets. Would never buy one even if I got it for free. It's simply not worth it if it kills you.
err no it doesn't!
These Chinese one is actually BETTER in some very limited situations. For example many Japanese, Italian and Chinese made "scooters" are rigged with the fake Chinese Ohlins dampers and used (mostly) in "city" driving conditions. The Chinese (admittedly low quality) have FAR less resistance, even at the very lowest Ohlins "click" setting ... Thus, the Chinese made copies will leave city drivers of light weight scooters with faster maneuverability, tighter U turns, etc. than the Ohlins orig. Granted they won't last as long and will degrade in their damping faster than the original Ohlins. But at a 94% discount to Ohlins pricing, just get another one ever 2-3 years. If you you have a 10,000-50,000 dollar motorcycle (or more) and/or are racing your bike, the original might make probably does make good sense, esp for those who are rich and don't care. But there are large segments of the market where the Chinese copies will do just fine, and in SE Asian city driving, even better due to less friction or drag.
FALSE ! If you choose to opt for “cheaper” (KNOCK-OFF) Safety components, then you pretty much deserve what you get when it fails. Darwin strikes again …
Did he really say that a steering dampener gets hot?
Yeah fuck this.
Not going to listen to some ass hat trying to sell me on premium shit I can get for $10
UnkinglyLike if you ride with a $10 steering damper then you are the ass hat
