how to install a gpr stabilizer?

hello, i just got my new steering stabilizer "gpr" for my 05 ninja zx-6r 636.

i cant figure out how to install it? any help is appreciated.

Didn't it come with de-structions?

Did it come with a mounting kit? I hope so. My scotts was real easy. It took like 15 minutes. Take triple clamp center nut off, put the mounting bracket on, us the replacement nut with blue lock tight, Tighen small hex screws down around mounting bracket with lock tight, add the new mount with the post where the top of the gas tank screws down, put damper on top of mounting bracket and screw down with the mounting screws and us lock tight.


I can't stress this enough. USE LOCK TIGHT ON ALL SCREWS AND NUTS. The scotts manaul that came with my damper stated that the screws "WILL" not might but "WILL" losen up if lock tight is not used.

Good luck.

:withstupi Locktite is your friend on all your MC parts as long as they don't touch plastic!

Cause we all know that Loctite eats plastic!

A little dab goes a long way also.

my biggest problem is finding the nut to re-tighten the triple clamp center nut. i cant find the size socket??? what size is it, does anyone know?

Should be 32mm. As long as the 05 is the same as the 04. Just go to sears and pick up a 32 and a 34 then bring them both back and say they are the wrong ones.:dthumb:

Its big... go to Sears on the bike and go inside and get some sockets!

well i took the bolt off with a monkey wrench, and good god, it was a 36mm socket, good god thats a big ass nut.

Ya, 36 I don't think they make a 34mm socket:sorry: Make sure you gert a torque wrench to put it back on. I had to get one, they are only like $18.:dthumb:

That's not something you want to fall off while riding.:nonod:

A good torque to specs is very important!

This is what I got.

:withstupi Looks good too, :dthumb: except that rusty bolt.

Yeah that is actually the pivit pin... but yeah that looks like heck!

Ya I'm still waiting on Scotts to email me back on that one.:tt:

They should take care of you.
You might try to spray some WD-40 on it and clean with a small brush to get that crud off.:2cents:

Yeah that should do it.

Maybe you need to rattle their cage a bit more. I find that the rusty/squeeky bolt gets the most attention.... pun intended! :D

i have heard people say that scotts are better then GPR stabilizers. but then on the opposite side of that, i have heard that most people wont use the scotts stabilizer to the full potential...

also, i have heard that the GPR is a real good and easy to use stabilizer for dailiy street riders.

Your probably right Slam but, I prefer the Scotts also.

I had a GPR on my R6 and it was very easy to adjust on the fly. I never had a problem with it. I know many people say "scotts is the best", but does anyone have solid proof to that, or is it all just opinion? Just asking.

I've never actually used a rotary yet. I will take a Scotts over an Olins piston type any day. I liked its adjustability and the way it preformed better. BTW I tried both on the same bike. I'm expecting only good things from the next Scotts I get. If I find a steal on a GPR. Ill probably snatch it up and give it a try. Most likely just till I can find a steal on a Scotts. :crazy:

:withstupi that's pretty much how I feel. Why not mount up the ebst you can get! Plus I think Jeeps will be removing the piston style off the 2k5 1K for a Scotts.... so he's doing the same thing over and over again.

You'll also hear guys like Twisty that will full out endorse a Scotts. Maybe for different reasons and not putting down the others but nevertheless...

Yea and I'm still looking for a Scott's. Some are selling GPR's cheap on eBay for some reason. That make me want a Scott's even more.

That is curious isn't it Jeeps!
