The 68 mm stroke gives the unit enough travel to work through extreme head-shake events while keeping the steering feel natural and communicative — a balance that lesser dampers rarely achieve. Riders campaigning the RN12 or RN19 in club racing will notice the SD 027's influence most acutely at high speeds and during rapid direction changes, where uncontrolled oscillation is replaced by settled, predictable steering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation \u0026amp; Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins have engineered the SD 027 to mount in the original steering damper position of the YZF-R1, meaning no brackets need to be fabricated and no chassis drilling is required. The fitment is clean, OEM-matched in mounting geometry, and visually at home on a machine that deserves premium components. The universal adjustment range also opens the door to fitting on lightly modified or custom-built machines derived from the R1 platform, subject to appropriate bracket selection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment \u0026amp; Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYamaha YZF-R1 RN12 (2004–2005)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYamaha YZF-R1 RN19 (2006–2008)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eNote: The actual appearance of the steering damper unit may vary slightly from the product image depending on the specific mounting configuration and model year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePart Number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSD 027\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eType Code\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSteering damper R\u0026amp;T\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStroke\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e68 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMount Position\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOriginal mount\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePackaging Unit\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndividual\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYamaha YZF-R1 RN12 \u0026amp; RN19 (2004–2008)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eÖhlins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Öhlins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53168699146506,"sku":"SD 027","price":446.18,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/SD064_daf194b8-2ab2-4ec9-9c70-10bd43343f73.png?v=1780811428","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/products\/ohlins-steering-damper-sd-027-yamaha-yzf-r1-rn12-rn19","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
