I bought a used GPR V1 steering stabilizer a little while ago and am having trouble figuring out what's wrong here. It's on an 07 Daytona
I installed the damper and checked my steering before I went on a short shakedown ride and it was more difficult than I thought it should be to turn the bars with the damper set to 1. Also it only took me about 100ft to realize the steering was bad. Tipping the bike back and forth was very weird, varying levels of force.
I turned around immediately and backed the set screws out a bit. It's much better when the set screws aren't torqued down, but I don't want them to come out. Turning the bars at speed was consistent.
The steering stem nut I was given was orange and the same dimensions as my stock steering stem nut, I thought that was a little weird when installing it. What I think is happening is the steering stabilizer bottom is rubbing against the steering stem nut top when I torque the set screws down (the ones that attach the stabilizer to the mount) making it harder to turn because the two are rubbing.
Can anyone with a GPR give me suggestions?
