SD-R...Steering damperner recall.

Anybody....??

If anybody else can confirm/heard of it... that's all.

Thanks for sharing though...

LOL! Exactly what I've thought before. I mean why hide such a mean looking steering dampener?

Oh well,can see it easy now...on the dealership's work bench

That would explain why the bracket has been backorder for ever with no ETA.

Anybody has the exact measurements of this bracket so we can machine our own?

i've had no notification from dealer or KTM, dised the 2nd/ 3rd sensor, niiiiiiiiiiiiiice

Could someone PLEASE post up pic's of the damper bracket from different angles. I have already bought the stinking damper for $500+ and now find out the bracket that's been back-ordered for months will probably be another year. IF someone has pic's, I can get the mounting hardware made myself. PIC PLEEEAAAASSSEEEEE. Thanks

Just thought, may be the bracket on the body of the damper itself, its only a stock WP item though !

Spoken to my dealer 2 mins ago, 3 failures all in Japan but he has no info on which part has failed

The bracket that holds the damper snapped in half on mine

Phone call today my new bracket is in being fitted next Monday

good quick service me thinks

sounds like my world.....thought you were on the other side o the pond?

The SDR recall is just hitting the USA. There are none or very few SDR's on the roads in the USA and I am positive this is why the parts have been on BO for those of us that want to add it to our SD's.

Personal opinion, but I found that the steering was quicker and the handling more fun (Closer to the 990 demo I test rode) without the damper. Not sure if I would put it back on now, except for the fact that it looks so cool.
1st trackday on Saturday, so may have a change of mind to report after that.

Wished you would have showed us where they break at? with a wax marker?

so where is the problem?

Good man...

Hi joe im getting used to the bike without it handles real well but the steering is very sensative and you get that unerving feeling she could get nasty, lets hope they sort something soon. andy

we be two of a kind my man, you being the one who keeps yelling at me,

then me being the one that says calm down my man.

Joe, Thanks for that...the only problem is that DMNTD and I both live in the same 3rd World Country!

And what the hell is a pavement?

Yeah I'm really starting to spit feathers on this now, KTM sort your act effing out

I ride on the nice days during the winter like today, really lovely day and i had to hold back.


NOT ON KTM

I'm with the others if they can't get it sorted quickly they should supply a yoke mount

thats good news.

So when do they start shipping the "back-ordered" ones for the regular Dukes I order a million months ago. JEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZ.

Steve normally lets us leave our gear in his truck so will see you all at the big orange tent

Sounds good fellas

Ambition for the meeting is to still be able to see Steve on the last lap! not holding out too much hope of that mind you.....

Wellllllllllll, it's Xmas in January..........I received my backorder damper parts. I'm still holding them in my hand to make sure I truly beleive I received them.

All my steering damper parts arrived last week

My steering damper parts arrived at my dealers just before xmas,i got the call to say they were ready for collection, i arrived only to find the damper and the new bracket and also the new fork leg bracket there but without any nuts and bolts to fit them .
I was well pissed off having travelled a total of 60 miles for f#ck all,needless to say i spent naff all on KTM goodie's as xmas presents.I was going to refit the damper and fork leg brackets myself but decided to let KTM earn their keep and refitt it for me as it was a recall,so today i dropped my bike off in my van,i'm told it will be ready tuesday,we'll see !
I love my bike and reckon it's one of the best if not THE BEST bike's i've ever owned but am really getting pissed off with the aftersale's service / parts availability provided by KTM to the extent that i haven't ordered the new exc 450 enduro bike i was going to treat myself to,instead i'll keep my xr 400 Honda for which i never have hassle getting stuff for.

All sorted down here Andy...A couple of months ago now.

Good luck

LSL do a steering damper for the superduke. Try www.twinshack.co.uk

Thanks for replys lads, hey i looked at lsl damper at twinshacks that looks a nice bit of kit for the price if mine dosnt hurry up i may have one.

My bracket broke! The original one that is....

I was being a bit naughty - so I still had it on waiting for the recall...

Any way it broke and jammed my steering on hard lock!!!

Disaster was narrowly averted - called my dealer and two days later they fitted it up while I waited...
