In that I mean, its a rarety to get a tank slap on an SV and you have to do something pretty spectacular to get one.
Steering damper needed on an SV? what a crock o dogs.....  |
I lock-to-locked mine once. But it took an AWFUL lot of incomeptence when "setting up" my rear shock
So much rebound damping that it packed down massively over a load of bumps then started kicking the front instead of soaking them up. Scarier than actually crashing, that. Luckily it turned out that the perfect response was to freeze in terror and do nothing.
Stock SVs certainly don't need a damper. That's an easy question. Other SVs, not so easy. Depends on build and use. Like, if you rode only at Knockhill, which is now fantastically smooth, then that'd let you away with a lot more than if you rode only at East Fortune, which is like a potato field with a skin of tarmac over it...
