Every component — from the low-friction Ø8 mm piston rod with its specialist surface treatment to the triple-seal assembly and nitrogen-pressurised reservoir — reflects the same exacting standards K-Tech apply to their top-tier suspension products used in professional racing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e22-way adjustable damping lets you dial in exactly the resistance you need, whether you are chasing lap times or covering long road miles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCSC (Constant Safety Control) system maintains consistent damping output, actively guarding against sudden, unpredictable steering inputs — tank slappers and wobbles are absorbed before they develop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow-friction Ø8 mm piston rod with specialist surface treatment delivers smooth, linear movement without the stiction that can mask steering feedback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTriple-seal configuration — a dedicated dust wiper combined with dual oil seals — keeps contaminants out and oil where it belongs, even under prolonged hard use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNitrogen-pressurised reservoir prevents aeration and foam formation, ensuring damping performance stays stable lap after lap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully serviceable design with available spare parts extends the working life well beyond that of sealed, non-rebuildable units\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-rod architecture mounts ahead of the top yoke for straightforward fitment and to eliminate side-loading on the damper body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBuild Quality and Engineering Detail\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eK-Tech have built their reputation on suspension components that combine race-proven engineering with real-world durability. The Race Steering Damper uses premium-grade internal bearings throughout its eye-to-eye mounting arrangement, ensuring smooth articulation at both the upper and lower mounting points (each accepting an 8 mm mounting bolt) without play or binding over time. The nitrogen reservoir is not an afterthought — it is a fundamental part of the hydraulic circuit, keeping the damping fluid free from cavitation even during the sustained, high-frequency inputs generated on a flowing race circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 22-position adjustment range is wide enough to suit everything from a track-day setup on a technical, tight circuit to a stiffer road configuration on open, fast A-roads. Because the damper is fully rebuildable, it can be revalved or resealed by a K-Tech service centre as your riding demands evolve, making it a long-term investment rather than a consumable fitment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOn Track and On Road\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt sustained high speeds or when braking hard into a corner, the front end of a supersport machine like the YZF-R6 is exposed to the kind of rapid, oscillating steering forces that can unsettle even an experienced rider. The K-Tech Race Steering Damper intercepts those forces before they manifest as a wobble, giving the front tyre the stable platform it needs to put power down cleanly on corner exit. Away from the circuit, the same characteristics translate into composed motorway stability and confidence under hard braking on uneven road surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis steering damper kit is designed specifically for the Yamaha YZF-R6 RJ27, covering model years 2017 through to 2026. The unit mounts ahead of the top yoke (front of the top triple clamp) and uses an eye-type mount at both the upper and lower attachment points. All necessary mounting hardware is included for installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation must be carried out by an authorised K-Tech Service Centre. Specialist tooling and technical expertise are required to achieve correct fitment and to ensure the damper performs to its rated specification safely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eParameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInner diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18.00 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter diameter (piston rod)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.00 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverall length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e230.00 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStroke\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e55.00 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUpper mount type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEye\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUpper mounting bolt diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.00 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLower mount type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEye\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLower mounting bolt diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.00 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMounting position\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFront of top yoke\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdjustment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22-way\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e055-55.YA06.20\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"K-Tech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53168848929034,"sku":"055-55.YA06.20","price":563.67,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/LKD_2f4805c9-0f52-4a13-bfb2-f41e240daf42.png?v=1780817494","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/products\/k-tech-race-steering-damper-kit-yamaha-yzf-r6-rj27","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
