| Electronic steering damper on circuit I would be very pleased to hear if anyone over there is racing a new 'Blade and still using the electronic damper ? In Uk people seem worried about it in race use but ours now has 600 track miles and so far the damper has been fine . Is it just that most racers want to set the damper to their own feel or has anyone better info on this ? Thanks in advance for any guidance | |

| Re: Electronic steering damper on circuit The reason that Honda Australia first took them off there bikes was because the ECU they were initially running did not facilitate the Electronic damper, but from what Ive heard they will be getting an updated ECU to allow them to use it  Last edited by Jungleboy : 05-24-2004 at 10:32 PM. |

| Re: Electronic steering damper on circuit 2 schools of thought. One as above, and the other, Honda told me that it is a weight issue. They aremaking a "cover" that looks like the original for marketing etc, but will still run an after market damper for actual use. But you always hear 10 different things from Honda and won't know until they actually do it. |

| Re: Electronic steering damper on circuit Yeah I cant remember where but I did read it somewhere about the ECU, I guess you cant be sure untill they go one way or the other! |

| Re: Electronic steering damper on circuit Many thanks for the replies. Been a great help. Theoretically,in UK we MUST run it as its an integral part of the original machine and our Superstock rules are so tight so the fact there doesn't seem to be a safety issues gives us yje confidence to keep it. |
