If some one I know and trust says not to do something I generally dont do it. If lots of people that I know and trust say not to do something
The rules say that a steering damper must be fitted, they dont say it has to be operational.
7.B.17
Steering Damper:
Required in all classes
7.B.19
Chassis and Steering:
All
motorcycle entries shall use handlebars for steering control. All moving parts of the steering system
shall operate freely without excessive play. It is recommended that all steering system components be
visually inspected on a frequent basis.
Fork stops shall stop fork travel before the hands touch the tank or fairing. If a hydraulic steering
damper is used, the rod shaft (or piston) may not be used for the fork stops. In all classes other than
Production and Modified Production, fork stops shall limit for
k travel to 15 deg. right and left (30 deg. total).
A functional shock absorber is required for each sprung wheel.
