MT09 | FZ09 | Steering Damper | Complete Installation 

Thanks mate, glad it helped you. 👍

No worries, hope you found it useful.

I have now moved up to setting 10 so about 50% stiffness. Works great when for wheelies. Yes the front is still light due to the high bars but it's worth the money. Yes better "quality brands" are nice to have. However this has performed perfectly so far. 👍

@@craigslistofprojects3451 awesome. Thanks for the reply! I just ordered one! Along with an akrapovic exhaust and shorty levers

@@nbsr nice, you will love all those mods 👌

When u say higher quality which brands jw as I see a limited amount for the mt09 on market most are really cheap this seems like a good quality compared to most let me know your opinions thank you

@@mn_mt0964 gpr and ohlins have steering dampers that fit on mt09’s

Yes they can be a pain, luckily fairly cheap to replace 😉

Yes that's what I did.

That's for the tracer model of this bike platform. Not required for the MT09.

Yes, it fits fine with my lower and wider protaper bars.

Hi, yes I still have it. Holding up great, no issues whatsoever. 👍

Hi Nick, still no issues here. Checked all the bolts not that long ago, all still tight. Still works well. Keep in mind that my bike is always garaged and cleaned after each ride. So, it doesn't sit out in the elements all day.

Hi Brian, it's been performing well. Had no issues with it to date. It's cops a workout every ride.

Hi, torque spec for the t50 bolt is 5-9Nm from memory. You can double-check this online search for mt09 torque specs.

Is that correct 5-9nm for t50 tamper bolt? Just watched video again and bars are 21.69nm which makes me think tamper bolt would be more? Not saying your wrong I'm just checking before I got mine today 👍

40-45 nm

Ebay or Ali express have them, just search steering damper for the mt09 and you'll see heaps. 👍

Exactly that, it really helps at higher speeds and landing wheelies.

Hi mate, the original link to the one I bought has expired. But found this one on ebay, same as mine. www.ebay.com.au/itm/333970794369?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=4mGryUGdQY2&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=2OFDVTrAQzW&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Thanks for the feedback, wow sounds crazy. Did you use lock tight on the threads ? And torque to factory spec ? I'll go over the bolts to check. Glad you are ok and nothing serious happened to you 👍

@@craigslistofprojects3451 hi yes I always used lock tight I always tighten bolt to manufacture specs. It could be because I run mine damper stiff the flex after a cupple rides grabbed the bolt and started to undo it's self so each taken you get a bit of a wobble it must put some pressure and undo the bolt to the air box come lose and the top mount ripped the thread. As I said the damper is fine it's the bracket its what dangerous cheap Chinese made. I now brought a different mount that goes to the tank ring instead much more safer. I appreciate that It snapped on me going around a bend got a bad speed wobble if it wasn't for my bike going to to mode B and the TC turned to mode 2 it would of certainly been the last day on earth. I hope others learn from this I will made a video soon and show everyone the damage it caused

That’s a long story to describe using cheap thread locker and hand tightening bolts. Also stripping any bolt usually indicates poor workmanship (unless the bolt is on a 20 plus year old machine) also why would you need to get a replacement bolt from Yamaha? You can buy that bolt from a decent hardware store if you know the size and thread pitch 🤣😂🤦‍♂️

@@localenterprisebroadcastin5971 not used cheap thread locker and I used torque settings the power of the bike when coming snapped the actual mount in half. Plus I have it on the tightest setting after coming off a cupple wheelies it gripped the bolt and undone it's self I got a new tank ring design not had any issues with it

@@marks4763 what torque and what loctite and what torque wrench did you use😂
