[QUOTE="Layton, post: 69198, member: 19387"] Scott, The reason you should not be able to feel the resistance while sitting on the stand is because when you turn the handlebars the oil is forced from one side of the damper to the other through a very small orifice. When you are riding the bike and something makes the front end try to deflect, the movement is much faster then you can simulate while on the stand. What then happens is that the oil tries to flow rapidly through the orifice but since the hole is small it hydraulically locks. This keeps the front end straight. I’ve used this damper since 1993 and I set mine just as the book says. If you were to “feel” it all of the time it would wear your arms out after a while. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
