Ohlins damper for zx6r 2010

[Fossi]

Hi,

I'm looking for some feedback. The stock Ohlins steering damper on my zx6r 2010 dosen't seem to do much in the way dampering, I noticed this on a recent trackday. Can you get a race kit put in them..? new oil..? and what price am I up for..? is this an easy mod for my mechanic to do..?

Feedback welcomed, cheers Fossi

I heard a lot of different opinions on this... in the end, I got the real Ohlins part and I'm happy with it now.

Having said that, a well setup suspension will cure 90% of the issues a steering damper is meant to solve. Accelerating over the ripple strip however, it does not. lol

Just get a reputable suspension bloke to sort it.
I think they replace the valving and solder up the hole that is in it from the factory.
Then it works like it should.
About $120

Mine works perfectly

+1 for Mr zenodamper he is here on the forums I got mine done through him took 2 weeks and works great. He is located in sydney but.

Getting Dampner re-done didn't make me go faster but did get rid of the mental headshake's i was getting under power out of faster corner's. I run mine on 10 clicks but before the re-valve I had it set flat out and it did nothing.

Unfortunately Zeno won't do the ZX6R damper (yep, they're different from the ZX10R ones)... I asked. Apparently it would cost almost as much as getting the 'real' ohlins and would never perform the same.

Mine was done by Stevie Winton then rechecked by Steve Mumford and its all good

[EDU]

I'm sure it is mate! I was gonna get mine done by someone else anyway but then these guy was selling his unit for pretty much what was going to cost me to get mine re-worked. Couldn't pass that up

Yep interesting, not standard on the new model... I beleive
they are offering an ohlins as an aftermarket on the new 636..?? according 2 my local dealer.

[pittster]

Bugger me sorry for the misleading info assumed the 6 & 10 used the same dampner sorry my bad

[Jonnymac]

I think it depends on wether it has a blue ohlins or black ohlins marking in it.

I have heard the internals on the black one can't be revalved properly. Just hearsay mind you I don't know for sure.
Just know that mine was done and it works fine.

[pittster]

Hmm interesting I have the Blue Ohlins sticker, Looks idenetical to the one that came on my mates 09 RSV4 Factory.

[EDU]

Mine was the blue one as well... still no go. I don't think I've ever seen the dark logo on a ZX6R.

I think it's the ones that have Ohlins laser etched that cannot be done.
