Standard steering damper 04 bxr cup
My steering damper appears to be passing hydraulic fluid. ( dont remember squirting WD in this area)Is it serviceable? Is it worth servicing? can any steering damper be fitted?

I'd be tempted to take it off and bin it. I don't ever recall anyone on an S reporting a tankslappery type incident. I tend to think the steering damper was fitted as a marketing exercise rather than out of any necessity by our Bavarian buddies.
Just my 2p.

You really need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.

its only there to create interesting moments filtering on a cold day..
mine has leaked since I had the bike, without noticably reducing the damping - never got round to removing it and now the fasteners are corroded...
I got the head to wobble at a track day once or twice a few years back, but I suspect that was more due to novice rider input rather than bike instability..
