Product Description
EC300 steering stabilizer for the 2001-2004 GasGas EC 300, with 5 Scott's Performance kit options on this page: a complete kit, a triple clamp kit, a mount kit only, a frame bracket and a bar clamp.

Does a Scott's EC300 steering damper kit come with the mounts?
The complete kit does. Scott's lists a complete kit as the one with everything you need to get a stabilizer on the bike, and a mount kit only as the part for riders who already own a Scott's stabilizer. Both are options for the 2001-2004 GasGas EC 300 on this page.
What does a EC300 steering stabilizer do?
A steering stabilizer does for the EC 300's handlebars what a shock does for the wheels: it controls fast movement with oil and valving you can adjust.
Is the Scott's stabilizer for the EC300 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.
Can I move my Scott's stabilizer to a 2001-2004 GasGas EC 300?
Scott's says yes, with a mount kit for the new bike. For the 2001-2004 GasGas EC 300, the mount kit only part: DM-6265.
What is a tank slapper, and do I need a steering stabilizer on my GasGas EC 300?
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 GasGas EC 300?
Fit depends on the model year. This page covers 2001-2004 of the GasGas EC 300. 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 EC300 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 EC300 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.
