Any tried servicing the damper? Do the ends unscrew? I want to go with thicker oil instead of buying a new damper.

Stock damper? Don't bother, throw that POS in the garbage and replace it with an adjustable unit.Quote:

I'm using the Ohlins from the original EBR kit. It's longer than ideal, but still works quite fine.

Looks like a Chinese $45 ebay unit. Was curious to know if those things even worked
It shipped from the states, but I am sure it is imported. It is very adjustable. Lite for slow speed stop and go and firm for speed. When set firm it is much firmer than the stock one. I did use small bushings on the 6 mm bolts to adjust for the 8 mm bolt holes. Only time will tell how well it lasts.

I ended up getting a K-Tech damper ( a little under $400 fro EDT performance) and press fit bushings from mcMaster Carr (8486A413). Tried it on the track today and it worked great
