PREVENT TANK SLAPPERS! - GPR Stabilizer Install on Yamaha R6

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

This is a MUST HAVE upgrade if you own a Yamaha R6. Shout out to GPR for sending me this one to install for you guys! This is a quality product and looks awesome on the bike! The R6's don't come with a stabilizer and if you want to have some piece of mind I highly recommend this stabilizer by GPR.

  • @itsmeericb

    @itsmeericb

    2 жыл бұрын

    It uses hydraulic valving and fluid inside of the stabilizer itself to absorbs shock through the forks. The higher you set it the stiffer it becomes. Just becomes tough to turn during slow maneuvers like U turns, so you’d want to have it set lower.

    I would love to see a controlled experiment - (before/after) - where a bike gets a tanks slapper on a particular road, then you install the stablilizer, and go over the same road - to demonstrate the actual difference it made.

  • @itsmeericb

    @itsmeericb

    2 жыл бұрын

    In my opinion just the design really. And how they are mounted. Not to mention price. Ohlins can be up to $200 more than the GPR. Also The GPR is easier to adjust and supposedly offers more dampening.

    I have this same set up on my bike. So when I went to change my engine filter, during reinstalling the GPR unit, I think I stripped one of the screws. When I try to tighten the screw, there’s some resistance and if I keep turning, it slips. Do I have to purchase a new frame you think?

    No the R6 does not come with one standard. If your bike already has one, they are usually pretty good from the factory. You can always upgrade though, just not sure how much better it would be over the stock stabilizer.
