Did you make sure it fits 2016 model? When I bought mine it said it fits 2020 - 2023 models. For sure you will feel the difference mostly above 200kph. ✌🏻
@@Motokyerd Ask the seller for tutorial. He will send you a picture where you can see where all the pieces go. I also had some hard time finding. I do remember that I got some pieces left that weren’t needed.
Hi. How's the damper holding up? I just purchased a new 2023 gsx-s1000 black. I have the same problem finding a damper. I found 3. 2 you have to cut the plastic near the ignition at $500 each and this one. Thanks!
Hello, after 4 months, 0 problems! Keeps working great and making a lot of difference at high speeds! I also found those from MaxRacing but I chose not to buy it because of the thing you have to cut so the damper can fit. I gave this one a try and so far I’m really happy and feel a lot safer. Remember that this damper was made to the GT version; it fits our bike but as you can see on the video it stays a little bit diagonal. And yes, from the aesthetic point it doesn’t look very awesome but hey, I don’t care, what I care is riding safe and get the most out of this monster bike ✌🏻
For me the steering damper made all the difference. I now ride without any feel of vibration or shaking from the front. Wind can be annoying while riding 😟
@_Monster46_ I can't put that one because I prefer my phone holder is placed is same way I don't mind to ride with out steering damper but I was wondering because I had honda fireblade 2008 and didn't have any of that 🤣
Go to AliExpress and search for the store FXCNC Store and then just look for the Suzuki gsx s1000 2023 steering damper. I use the AliExpress app and it doesn’t let me share any link.
Being totally honest, perfect! I keep an eye every now and then and check if there is oil inside the damper before riding and move the handlebar to see if the dampner is doing its work. Before having the dampner I couldn’t go above 220 feeling safety, I have done the remap on my bike and now I go to 270 and still feeling the bike perfectly stable. If Suzuki or any other brand makes a proper dampner for this bike I will buy it, until then, I will continue to use this one even if I have to buy one per year. The expensive part is the bracket and you just need to buy it once, the dampner is cheap so no big deal if they last 1 year. So far mine is in perfect shape.
I agree. in fact, in aesthetic terms it is not ideal but I prefer to have it and feel safer. As soon as there is another option I will change but for now there is no alternative.
@@pomplardpanam8591 better why? It may look better since it’s placed in a better position mas this one works perfectly and it costs less than a third of the max racing. If you’re happy with it, good for you, I’m extremely happy with this one and I’ve been using it for the last 8 months.
@@youtubeon2wheels i Can put my chest on the tank easy in high speed...i do not trust chinese things sometimes 4 safety bé careful bro... If U like it good 4 U bro I have the max racing since 2 years now no problems With love from Paris France bro 🍷🐷🇨🇵🐓🥖🥐
@@pomplardpanam8591 I agree with you, I wanted to buy max racing but I didn’t like the idea of having to cut that piece of plastic to fit the damper. I don’t like also to buy these kind of things from AliExpress but I was tempted due to a friend of mine than was using his and told me it was working fine. I ordered mine and for the first times I was always checking the damper to see if was working fine, the truth is that it works great indeed, it doesn’t prevent me to lay my chest on the tank also, and at high speeds, gives me total safety. This bike has so much power and the front is so light that it does need a good damper. If I was not happy with this one I would have bought the max racing for sure. Stay safe and ride safe!
