steering stabilizer

[Dirtbike'n man]

ok heres my storie i got my yz a few weeks ago and i got to take it out for the real first time and open it wide open. and once i got to full speed it felt like the front end was shaking every once and awhile and when it did it was violent. i was wondering if a steering sabilizer would keep this from happining and if that would help where couild i get a decent one for cheap but i would like it to be durable. thanks for reading my post .

Yes, a steering damper would be the option. Unfortunately, I've never heard of a cheap one. Although a DRN'er helped me out and got one for $150. So, keep your eyes open, they usally run around $350

Yes they'll make a difference and if you ride a lot of sand, you'll really appreciate one. However, they don't come cheap but they do last a long time and can usually be transferred when you buy a new bike.

My last ride without a steering damper was more than 9 years ago. Broke my collar bone into three pieces in a crash that would not have happened with a damper. Dampers are pricey, but they are cheaper than broken bones.

Steering dampers are one of the greatest inventions in the history of dirt bikes, if you want my honest opinion.

Steering damper is a very good idea.but you should check your steering head bearings to make sure they are in good shape and not loose.
