Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

Hey guys, thanks for the reply, maybe I try to ride the bike for sometime and decide to install the damper later.

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-
