[QUOTE="Spokes574, post: 1242324, member: 22918"] CRF450R Y08 Dampner. Its not a real full feature dampner. It does nothing for fast straightline impacts from Center out. The CRF450R Y08 dampner kicks in not a center, but the closer you get to full turn. So what it does is trys to slow down how fast you turn the handles when it gets close to full turn. Reason is with the 22mm offsets - even more with 20mm offsets, when you take a tight turn real fast and you are sitting on the gas tank, the forks want to tuck in! So what the dampner does is try to slow down how fast you turn it when you get to maximum turn radius in hope of minimizing the front wheel from tucking in. I know this first hand. I have 20mm offsets on my CRF450R and if I sit on the gas tank on a tight fast turn, the forks want to tuck in, the only way to minimize this is to stiffen up the form so that you do not get any fork diving when making a tight turn/sitting on the gas tank. I minimized this by adding fork oil, raising the oil level 5cc helped. Its not a centerline stearing dampner - will not help at fast speeds or hitting logs Spokes574 [/QUOTE]
