Billtx : A good stabilizer can help crutch a soft or loose acting front end , In other words you may be able to set your bike up a bit softer and plusher and still have a good degree of stability which might otherwise be found by running a firmer setting. You can also sometimes make the rear of a bike firmer or run more shock spring preload to help a bike turn .Some big KTMs need a firmer rear setup than ideal to help turn sharp but thats sort of a trait dialed in by the triple clamp and frame geometry. Imagine if you had a bike that was not very stable at speed and you would need to turn the spring or rear ride height looser to give stability , the lower the rear got the worse it may have turned in tight situations. If you installed a damper you may have been able to run a firmer rear and put more bias on the front and it could turn better. Some early 90s CRs turned well but shook the front end at the worst of times. A damper can really help you out in a bad situation . So I guess to answer your question its a possibility. A damper can also help you out when you get a bit tired in like a long race as it can help you hang on . Good Luck
