Many race teams actually run with the damper at the minimum setting, the damper is there to turned up when they cannot get the chassis set-up correctly. For example in the 2007 BSB season Haslam ran his damper on a low setting, Kiyonari's was actually disconnected, on a bike which had a fantastic chassis and a steep steering angle.

The SV has a great chassis, only let down by the front and rear suspension.
