After purchasing my first S1000rr (2016) 6 years ago, I tried to compensate a poor suspension setup with the steering damper. After a proper suspension setup with much improved stability, and the realization that the dampers appeared to be removed from the 2020 Super Bike School provided bikes, I returned the steering damper adjustment to zero. Three years, 50k miles and a dozen track days later I am now preparing for my first races (asra) and I am wondering if my steering damper should play a role in this new endeavor. Any thoughts and/or suggestions would be appreciated.
