What does a 400 RS steering stabilizer do?
Mounted just above the bar clamp on the Beta 400 RS, it works against head shake and the sudden jolt that follows a hidden root or rock.
Is the Scott's stabilizer for the 400 RS the same as on other bikes?

What is a tank slapper, and do I need a steering stabilizer on my Beta 400 RS?
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 Beta 400 RS?
Fit depends on the model year. This page covers 2014 of the Beta 400 RS. 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 400 RS steering stabilizer?
Scott's says its off-road units damp as the bars turn away from center and let them return freely. Scott's also says the damping is adjustable, including while riding. The install guide covers settings.
How do I service a Scott's 400 RS 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.
