Questions riders ask
Which kit do I need for the MXV 450?
If you do not have a Scott's stabilizer yet, pick a complete kit. If you already own one, a mount kit only moves it to this bike.
Will it fit my handlebars?
Check the bar diameter and the crossbar on your MXV 450. Scott's says some bikes need different bars when the crossbar sits too low.

What is a tank slapper, and do I need a steering stabilizer on my Aprilia MXV 450?
A tank slapper is a fast side to side shake of the handlebars. Our guides explain what causes it and how to decide whether you need a stabilizer: tank slappers, speed wobble and head shake and do you need a steering stabilizer.
Will a Scott's steering stabilizer fit my Aprilia MXV 450?

Scott's says to treat it like suspension, with an occasional oil change depending on how hard you ride. See the service guide.
