SD 043 Electronic Steering Damper

The Öhlins Electronic Steering Damper Kit is a high-performance stabilization upgrade engineered for the Yamaha YZF-R1M (2015-2025). By connecting directly to the motorcycle's Smart EC electronic suspension architecture, this damper continuously monitors riding dynamics, using advanced electronic algorithms to instantaneously modulate damping resistance. This adaptive behavior improves front-end stability during aggressive maneuvers, reduces unwanted handlebar oscillation, and helps minimize headshake during hard acceleration or heavy braking. Built for the demands of track and performance street riding, this component features a pressurized fluid design to eliminate free play and includes 16-position adjustability. It mounts in the original OEM location, ensuring seamless integration with the factory electronic systems. Please note that this unit is specifically designed for the R1M model; it is not compatible with other variants. Proper installation should maintain the centered stroke to ensure restricted steering travel is avoided and resistance is applied consistently in both directions.
