If your bike have inherent problems with suspension/geometry or an issue with the rider, a steering damper won’t do much; even worst is it being wrongly adjusted. > > One more note, death grip never makes anything better when riding. Bikes buck and wobbles to straight themselves out; they crash because 99% of the time the rider is trying to stop them from doing it. Yeah it depends on the bike big time I guess. Like you said the bike will naturally keep from going too crazy. Thats why I mentioned riding MX bikes, they dart all over the place all day long. Once you get comfey with it going where it wants to, you loosen up your riding style a ton, and build muscle memory for different senerios. Look into the “Z” riding style for bikes. it talks about using your bodies core strengths to controll the movements of the bike. It seems a bit goofy when you first learn it, but once it becomes second nature, you will see your lap times drop, and your stamina increase a ton. Its very interesting. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/tank-slapper/254034)._
