kymanhalim Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Hello guys, I will be getting my bikes next week. Heard Alot about tank slap for this bike, any steering damper recommended? Accessories that installed are; 1. Engine slider, radiator guard, scottoiler BMC air filter and Akrapovic titanium exhaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member DewMan Posted May 12, 2022 Premium Member Share Posted May 12, 2022 Not sure where you're hearing about tank slap for this bike, but from my personal experience, and from what I've read here in the forum, it's not a thing for a properly maintained FZ/MT-07. Unless you're riding on the bleeding edge of the handling of this bike on a track you shouldn't need a steering damper. 6 DewMan Just shut up and ride.

shinyribs Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 A damper couldn't hurt anything, but it's certainly not a necessity on the 07. My 09 benefits from one, but the 07 is rock solid. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kymanhalim Posted May 12, 2022 Author Share Posted May 12, 2022 Hey guys, thanks for the reply, maybe I try to ride the bike for sometime and decide to install the damper later. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member cornerslider Posted May 13, 2022 Premium Member Share Posted May 13, 2022 I've turned several thousand track miles on my "07", and not once did I have any stability issues? Like @shinyribs mentioned..... It can't hurt, but seems like a waste of financial resources- 4 ""W.O.T. until you see god, then brake" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
