High speed crest

WAfatboy · Mar 31, 2013

I ride at a track where the fastest straight starts before a blind crest and the front end of the bike always gets light/airborne over that crest at around 200kph. When the front gets light the bars flap a bit and I was wondering whether the steering damper tightened a little might help that or doi just need to suck it up?

A tightened steering dampener will help with that. Give it a go.

Yes

Is that 'yes tighten the steering damper' or 'yes suck it up'

Well, yes. Just kidding, my experience has been the damper helps with fairly fast/violent shakes but doesn't eliminate them all, so you'll probably have to suck it up too!

Better learn how to turn the bike on one wheel too while you're at it.

Haha! Will try the steering damper and tighten the sphincter muscles.
