@acbyrne21 If you by steering lock means the radius you can turn the bars then yes, it does reduce it! Does it matter? No, unless you do a lot of very slow turns (less than 10km/h, like on a parking) or like to keep the rear wheel hanging out very far in the power/entry slides
@acbyrne21 You dont need a lot of turning to steer the bike, you steer it by turning the bars in the other direction of where u want to go and then it turns when it is forced down on the sides, its not like a car! The only times I have hit the steering stops without crashing is when I force steer from left to right and loose grip on the front end, but in that case it quickly snaps back since it has momentum. You should try to steer the bike fastenough to make the frontwheel loose grip in Sturns
Hey mate, just ordered a factory shock upgrade from Alice to try and solve my 'death wobble' problem. Wish my sxv was as stable as yours. I love your vids, Keep up the good work.
I found even with my stock SXV550 as long as I did not grip the bars hard it was quite stable. I too have done the three finger trick and found that was how the bike liked it. I once griped too hard on a high speed run, and some poo followed shortly after. lol
Hi mate. Do you find the ise parts clamps reduce steering lock??

@550starfox Yeah I agree, if you're scared and hold on too tight the shake is transfered from just the front end to the rest of the bike
