Don't get a stock damper off of a 09, they are crap.

Hey bro, is this an easy instalation or did you have it done? 18 adjustable postitions!!!! Holy crap!

Very easy to do, did it myself took about 10 minz if that? and this damper is very good and up on 18 its very hard to get a tank slapper out of it. World of differences compared to other dampers. I'm staying with sprint from now on. Plus its cheaper then most others. I ordered it off of http://www.globalmoto.net/ that guy was real nice and worked with me very well. Also was shipped right from sprint them self and shipping was very fast had it in about a week, not bad from coming overseas. Got mine 329.00 shipped.

P.S. they are also fully rebuild able and have a inductor saying when service is needed on them.
here is a picture of mine.

Excellent! Thank you! Looks great!

for not buying one off an 09 unless your plan is to pull out the insides and replace them. Everyone I have talked to has said they are pretty much complete crap.

Those are at a sweet price! Might have to look into ordering one of those now. Been eye balling some for some time now. Thanks!

Dont buy a stock damper + 1 there pretty much useless in comparision to an aftermarket one

636_Jackel · 11-14-2009, 01:41 PM

What do you like with the sprint over others and why?

MegaBytesz · 11-15-2009, 08:10 AM

Well first off its made by a company that's been in the racing sport bikes for over 20 years. They are the only damper used in the R6 cup. These dampers have three valves in them. An Ohlins only has one. SXC steering damper range now has 18 positions of adjustment. SXC Dampers are fitted with a unique expansion device which ensures mechanical pressure is applied to the damper during all working and temperature conditions. Also unique to this damper is a visual pressure gauge which shows internal pressure, and when the damper needs servicing. SXC Sprint 916-Style Damper Kit has been thoroughly researched and stylishly designed to integrate with your bike, enhancing stability without the need to drill holes in your bike. All SXC Fitting Kits are individually CNC machine etched with the relevant model logos. SXC Damper Kits use this system to locate the damper to the kit. This ensures each kit and damper fit each model precisely, maintaining all clearances. The SXC saddle, also ensures no distortion to the main damper tube, ensuring smooth operation. Also they are Precision CNC machined from aircraft specification alloy, Mounting position allows the damper to be easily adjusted on the move if required, Multi-position, low-friction, rebuildable unit, Anodised clear/black finish to prevent corrosion.

I have been running this damper all summer and I love it, 3 of my buddies are sold on them after trying mine out and they was big on Ohlins and GPR. Also I got this damper over the GPR because on a sport bike head mount dampers are not as nice or good for me. I know they work good for dirt bikes.

Not a bad price for an Ohlins, but Sprint still better and cheaper.....

You said you ordered it from http://www.globalmoto.net
But I see you have a 08 zx6r, they only have it up to 05-06, will those fit the 07-08's
Thanks
