No problems here.

 

[mullerr666]

no problem with mine - it works beautifully.

I have not noticed a thing. You will have to ask your friend where they are getting their info.

Can't even tell there is a damper there. haven't ridden it hard enough to find out either. That would be a nightmare if they had problems with those.

 

[quick]

I haven't had any problems with anything on it.

 

[Doojack]

Mine works fine too. No problems at all

 

[IronNutz]

All good here. :thumbup:

Mine works just fine. The ONLY place I've heard anything bad about the dampener was in sportrider, "we also found the CBR required a lot more muscle to flick from full lean on one side to the other, espcially as the speeds picked up, a probable consequencs of the electronic steering damper fighting your steering inputs.
Other than that, I havent even heard rumors of anything bad with the HESD.

Just like most riders...I haven't noticed it. Was up to 144mph Sat. and it was as stable as ever.

I would assume that honda would have put a lot of time and R&D into that steering dampener... Imagine the lawsuits if they were to fail.
So I would guess that the guy heard that there were problems with the HESD probably heard that through the Bull$hit grapevine. :shock:

No problems here.
