Thanks Jeff. I rode on factory settings and it was wayyyyy too stiff. I found this video and changed my settings to your recommendations. Now it works perfect. I ride in the nw and we have tight technical stuff. If I ride more wide open areas, I now understand the settings better and can make stiffer. I am a regular online customer and think you run a fine business.
always great videos, purchased a lot of products threw you and have to say its always a great experience. always answer the phone,customer service is 5 star!!!!! always follow threw, and great shipping.
I recently purchased the Scott’s damper with BRP rubber mounted risers for my KTM 690. At speeds 70 mph and above the front end starts to feel not so planted. I’m hoping that this damper helps to eliminate that feeling. Should arrive in a few days. I guess I’ll find out soon enough if it was worth the investment
Hello: Scotts dampers improve chassis stability but they are not a Bandaid for other issues. Your bike may have one or more other issues like too much shock sag, incorrect suspension clicker settings, leaky shock or fork seals, unbalanced or out of balance tires, wrong tires for the application, loose steering head bearings, etc., etc., etc. If it was my bike, I would fix the problem before adding another product into the mix.
Is it possible to spin the damper 180 degrees, so you can get to your adjustment knobs? I am guessing the damper actuator arm can be undone and spun 180 degrees too, to achieve this.
come on jeff do a video of your cat!!he or she is a vocal member of your team and probably has picked up more tips than i have from you!!! thanks again for the vids it is truely a help to have these tips,i dont have the time to test so i rely on tips to try something different and see the benefit.
the faster I go, the tighter my dampening let out the low speed dampening in slow speed technical terrain so I can move the handle bar comfortably then when terrain lets me go faster, I tighten dampening for a firm steering feel best part is that the high speed dampening is always there (unless you full tighten slow speed dampening - then it negates the effect of high speed / but I cannot imagine a scenario where you would need full slow speed dampening)
Fantastic thank you it works out great on my sport bike...I left the sweep at 6 pm all the others the same as yours..

Did you install it and did it make a difference? I have a KTM 690 SMCR too and want to buy this. Also, did the BRP risers reduce any vibration?

Yes, you can relocate the arm 180 degrees but the knobs are easily accessed as it.

I noticed the one cap could not be removed in-situ.
@@norincobrocapri46 The adjuster under that cap is set it and forget it. Rotate the bars, set it, move bars to original position and ride.
on the sweep screw.. are you also turning it in and then back out to the up position? love the sharing.. thank you..
On the sweep adjustment do you turn that clockwise or CCW to that position, or does it matter? Just thinking turning CW would make it heavier?
the sweep adjustment does no such thing..It is set for 6, 9, or 12 o'clock and has nothing to do with being heavier..Its in the manual.
Which mounting position is better for what situations, sub or top mount or does it not matter at all?

It's personal preference.
Jeff is Awesome Thanks

You're welcome.
Jeff Slavens Hi Jeff, Do you sell the cable guide for the sub mount dampener?
Love ya vids btw.
Will the dampener still work good with it set like this with big hits
Yes
Does the extra weight on the front concern you?
No
will these settings work on all years of Scotts?
Robert Lynch yes
What about wide open desert?
the faster I go, the tighter my dampening
