Product Description
F700GS steering stabilizer for the 2013-2018 BMW F 700 GS, with 2 Scott's Performance kit options on this page: a complete kit and a mount kit only. On an adventure bike like the F 700 GS, knobby tires, ruts and a loaded rear end can set off head shake; a steering stabilizer slows that side to side movement of the bars. For these years the sub mount complete kit is part DS-SUB-6504-27 (about 3.5 lb) and the sub mount mount kit only is part DM-SUB-6504-27 (about 3.5 lb).

Questions riders ask
Which kit do I need for the F 700 GS?
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.
Is the stabilizer sold separately?
Yes. The stabilizer on its own is part 4200-00 and fits every Scott's kit; the mount kit decides which bike it fits.

Is the Scott's stabilizer for the F700GS 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 BMW F 700 GS?
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 BMW F 700 GS?
Fit depends on the model year. This page covers all years of the BMW F 700 GS. 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 F700GS 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.

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