Hi,
I have a 2017 ZX636R KRT Edition.
It has a steering damper but no name brand on it. I bought the bike used so I don't know if this is a factory installed damper or not! Question is about plastic spacer on end of damper rod. Is there a torque setting on the bolt? I can't find any info on it!
Also, the steering head nut... Is it necessary to use thread lock on the bolt even though it's torqued down? I had a hell of a time getting it out because thread lock was used previously!
Thanks all!

It looks like a Hyperpro Damper or a copy.
Steering stem nut will be the standard oem torque setting.
Damper end Bolt should be 14-17nm (10.3 to 12.5 ft lbs) with non perminant locking agent such as Locktite Threadlocker 242 or 242

Thank you sir! What's your opinion on thread lock for steering stem nut?

Never used it on a Steering Stem Nut and never will.

I need to buy the damper kit for my 2019 ZX6R, but its so expensive. It’s like $700 dollars for the Ohlins kit.
