KTM 1290 - Steering damper oil change

[@nickkline9874]

Thanks for this video - others are good but this one is the easiest, most efficient method of replacing the oil. Thank you! FYI - I swapped the oil on my 2023SAR with stock tires, still new bike (1.5k miles). I can feel the improvement at low & moderate speeds, but under hard acceleration over 100mph the shake comes back. New tires would probably solve it, so would more viscous oil. For what I need though, this is perfect so thank you Czerp for the great tutorial.

Wielkie dzięki za nagranie pomocnego materiału. Wlałem olej do amorów 15W a jak nie ustanie shimmy to wleję hipol 80w90

Thanks for this. I followed your instructions and replaced mine with 10W oil in about 30 minutes. This video really helped!

[@Cr3atureOfNature]

This video was of great help, thank you very much! 🙌
I used Motul 20W Heavy and I'm impressed by the results.

Thanks for good video!I am repairing my steering damper

[@sanjuthapattanapiromkul8543]

Thank you for the good knowledge.❤

I did this with 20w and it helped the decel high speed tank slapper wobble quite a bit but not completely, that said its the actual design of the connector that is the problem, the center piston has a single ring type fastener and it flexes up and down a bit which seems to me to be the actual problem (I'm only knowledgeable on the 2016-7 GT)

[@mikekeuben]

I want to do this with my steering damper too. Could you maybe tell me wich oil you exactly used?

[@AKAOmnivore]

@@mikekeuben It kept on deleting my link to what I used soooo. Maxima V-Twin Fork Oil 20wt

[@mikekeuben]

@@AKAOmnivore no worries, thankyou for the reply

[@EstebanAGaido]

I´m just following this steps. Thank you! The only doubt I have... is if the seal is compromised after hammering for expelling the unlocked seal... because the "head" is entering in that seal... this is not going to cause a leak later? By the way, are you happy with 15W or do you feel like it will be better to put 20W? Thanks!

[@czerpzzycia539]

In my opinion it shouldn't damage the seal I have also checked it, if I will see any leaks - I will find new seal and replace it.
I have used 15W because I want to have easy "work" at terrain, also I equipped additional scott steering damper

[@EstebanAGaido]

@@czerpzzycia539 I did the mod that same day. No problem with seals leaking and the steering improved the feeling! I think maybe a 20W will be even better. But of course an adjustable one is the way to go. Thank you so much!!

W Tobie nadzieja kolego, bo mój 1290 super adventure z 2023 pływa po drodze jak dziki powyżej 160km/h.

[@bartomiejpiekarz9678]

Czekam na testy po wymianie oleju.... Pozdrowienia

[@aveewenement4098]

Kolego skąd jesteś potrzebuje to ogarnąć

[@rafapiatek1578]

Wiesz może jak zdiagnozować łożysko glówki ramy? mam zdjęte wlaśnie lagi bo poszły do naprawy uszczelnienia i jak ruszam kierownica swobodnie góra dół to ma luz ale nie wiem czy to dlatego że nie ma lag czy dlatego że jest uszkodzone łózysko

[@noorfazlin6559]

Is it cause leak sometimes cause mine leaked a little after changed the oil. Not so major just a minor leak happened 😅

Hi, do you know where I can find the part inside of the steering dumper?

[@czerpzzycia539]

you mean the sealings ?

[@robertomarreiros171]

@@czerpzzycia539 yes.

[@mesbahe]

why did you replace the oil. IS the steering heavy?

[@MotoTrotter]

the opposite. It's too light
