On the RXV 550, the stabilizer mounts at the steering head and slows fast left to right movement of the bars, the shake you feel when a rock, rut or whoop tries to turn the front wheel.
Is the Scott's stabilizer for the RXV550 the same as on other bikes?
Almost always. The stabilizer is part 4200-00, and the mount is the part that changes from bike to bike. See the Scott's 4200-00 stabilizer.

What is a tank slapper, and do I need a steering stabilizer on my Aprilia RXV 550?
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 RXV 550?
Fit depends on the model year. This page covers all years of the Aprilia RXV 550. Choose your year in the fitment bar and match the part number on the kit to your bike. Part numbers are explained in the kit guide.
How do I set the damping on a RXV550 steering stabilizer?

How do I service a Scott's RXV550 steering stabilizer?
Scott's says to treat it like suspension, with an occasional oil change depending on how hard you ride. See the service guide.
