The mille has one, with a ridiculous number of settings, and i have
set it to one or zero normally.
Having it set higher up makes it feel stiffer and unresponsive
especially at slow speeds.
Im a believer that if the bike im riding is twitchy the probable
cause is rider input, then suspension setup, then suspension
components and if you need a damper then put one on.
Sure steering dampers have their place but if *you* dont think its a
problem i wouldnt worry about it.
