Steering Damper's for noobs?
I've just picked up my new sv on friday and I noticed when coming back on the motorway, cruising about 85-90 I got a slight bit of a wobble on. I considered the wind buffetting my upper body so did the gripping-bike-with-legs-whilst-relaxing-upper-body trick which seemed to ease the wobble and eventually make it stop. I've been riding 6 months so I'm still learning new info/concepts etc but would a steering damper help with this sort of thing?
A mate of mine explained them to me saying that they stiffen up the steering as speed increases... this reduces/prevents any wobbles under hard acceleration or high speed. Would it be worth me looking into this sort of thing or do I just need to re-assess my riding style (since I came from an up right honda cbf600's' which never gave me any wobbles or weaves)?
If they are generally a good accessory to have & use, how hard are they to fit? all rants/advice/knowledge welcome...
