Serious advice about steering damper on 2015

[GixxerChuck]

Did not think to adjust steering damper as for some reason I thought it was electronic. Damping on them is ridiculously stiff so wind it out as much as possible but be aware of quicker turn in once you've done it.

BMW spend millions setting up their sports bike package and we come along and mess with everything. Still gives us some time in the shed i suppose.....

Can't even make the 2012 stiff to start with!

I run mine 5 clicks out - this is the recommended setting in the manual for track use - from memory, they recommend 8 clicks out for the road...

Mine is set at 5 clicks from fully closed and it has worked really well on track. So much so I haven't had to make any adjustments all season.

Is fully closed turned all the way towards the front of the bike?
I haven't even looked at it, but I'll play about with it next season

Yeah, fully closed is turning clockwise to full stiff, I then turn it back 5 clicks
