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.

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:

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:

and a dab of lock tight.
That's not something you want to fall off while riding.:nonod:

 

[Gas Man]

A good torque to specs is very important!

 

[Marsolais]

This is what I got.

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

 

[Gas Man]

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:

 

[jeeps84]

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:

 

[Gas Man]

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!
