Te449 Steering dampener / Stabiliser

Who has a steering dampener fitted to there TE449 and what brand, type etc

Are you happy with it etc etc.

Also where to purchase at a good price, the only one fitted to a Te449 I have seen is a Scotts and he got it from the USA

ps I am in Australia (Oz)

The MotoSportz one is fairly popular on CH due to it's price and features, otherwise I've seen a GPR, a scotts and an Ohlins SD2.1 on various SMR and TE/TC 449/511's.

I run one of these on my GS and really like it and will be purchasing one for the TE and DRZ, and they are out of Australia.

The Motorsportz damper is very good and you can't beat it for the money. Without going into technical details, the device functions to keep you steering straight. Personally I run the Scotts, but it is expensive and complicated allowing for professional high speed adjustment. I highly do not recommend the new Ohlins dampers for off road. GPR is okay, but has generic operation.

I really like the look and fitment of the motosportz and I do like the simple adjustment but from what i am hearing the scotts are the proven bullet proof unit that everyone that rides recommends. Thanks for the help and I think I will go the scotts from my local shop where he can supply warranty, service and set up advice. Does not seam like much of a saving when you include postage etc for around $600 I can get the scotts under-bar from my local shop

Will the Motosportz work with my Highway dirtbike handguard setup? I have the tall lower clamp and sxdx top clamp for fatbars.

I have a TE310 MY 2012. OK still? Does it raise the bar height and mount under the lower clamp?

Ive had two MSC, one on a wr300 and now the Te250. I think its great, a bit pricey.
I would of got the motosportz, but didn't have one to fit the wr300 at the time.

Watch out for this poster...he's very biased But he should be because his gear kicks azz

Ok local bike said for my bike not 600 for scotts dampener its now 837 dollars due to needing new tripple clamps, also there was a Oz dealer for motorsportz in brisbane I was trying to track down but after a bit more research it looks like he is no longer trading

I have now sent an email to Motorsportz usa to find out how much for the underbar unit to fit 2013 te449 delivered to victoria Australia and I would also like to know what happens if I need warranty? maybe I need to distribute these in Oz?

Tell your local bike shop that they are idiots. All you need is a scotts/brp submount and the damper/collar. The scotts is very complicated to set up the right way anyway.


I would recommend the Motosportz damper for you anyway, it's just easier to setup and it works. Just pm Kelly here: Motosportz

Ok I am not getting your emails just checked my inbox and spam I will pm Motorsportz a few email options

I found your email now and have replied please send me the pay pay request money for the 60 dollar shipping and I will get one of your units.

have not worked out how to pm on this forum is it start conversation??
