I just ordered 4 new dampers p/n: 92160-1521 because whenever I drop the bike the bar mounts move in the triple clamp and my bars are crooked. Maybe I should stop falling.

I feel like i've come across this in other threads...Any of you guys had this problem?

One other thing: Anyone using the FRP bar brace?

I like the rubber mounting for that reason, cuz when I crash I can just loosen the mounts, straighten out the bar and be done while on solid mount, every time I fall ... need new bars.

Ha...you sound exactly like me about a year ago. Yea....the more you drop the bike, the more the dampers get chewed up. I replaced my dampers and got one of those Fredette brace things. It does help.

Granted, if I drop the bar end on a rock or something they are still going to tweak somewhat, but overall I have notice a big reduction in trying the straighten the bars back up. Worth the money I say.

Ha Ha its nice to hear i'm not the only one! Right on, thanks for the re-assurance

I don't know what the Freddette brace is, but the top clamp off of a KX125 makes a world of difference in keeping your bars straight when they get bumped. It's just a one piece unit instead of the two separates for the KDX.

I second what CM said.

The FRP bar brace works. My buddy tipped over and took me out yesterday and then I low-sided going going pretty fast uphill and slid an good ways and my bars didn't tweak.

If you stop buying pos bars you would not have that problem
