What kind of dampener should i get for my R6. Its a 2000. I have no idea what would be good. I looked at Ohlins and Pitbull but they are so different i have no idea what im looking for.

Personally, I'd use a hose.
But if'n you want to get rid of a little headshake, a Scott's steering damper would work just fine...........

Linear piston > rotary and Ohlins is better than all!

No im not having any really. On the way to school this morning it felt like i was stuck to a railroad track. The thing is great i just thought it was highly recommended to get one.

Alright good deal. But what i was really looking for was the model of the dampener. I know where to look to find one but there are so many to choose from on their websites idk what to choose. |

Then you don't need a steering damper, you need either to inflate your tire (that's a symptom of low tire pressure) or get one that isn't flat spotted.

The Ohlins model number is SD 150 for the 99-02 R6. Be prepared though, most places want $550 or more for the damn thing. I like Ohlins and all but I don't like them that much. |

I have a GPR on my 05 ZX6 and it has saved me several times. No problems at all with the functioning.
My Buell has shaken me up several times and I am definetly in the market. Acceleration wobbles have been severe and I almost crashed landing a sweet mono to hard once.

There's also the GPR rotary but I do know that several people had issues with the older units leaking. The newer ones may be better. ![]() |

I never had an issue on the GSXR with headshake. Come to think of it, I've never experienced headshake on any bike I've ridden.
