Product Description
MC125 steering stabilizer from Scott's Performance, listed here for the 2005-2008 GasGas MC 125 with a complete kit, a mount kit only, a frame bracket and a bar clamp. It is a small hydraulic damper at the steering head of your MC 125: oil moves through adjustable valving, so hard hits are taken out of the bars before they reach your hands. For these years the bolt-on complete kit is part DS-6265 (about 3.5 lb) and the bolt-on mount kit only is part DM-6265 (about 2 lb); 2 more options are listed below.

Does a Scott's MC125 steering damper kit come with the mounts?

What does a MC125 steering stabilizer do?
It is a small hydraulic damper at the steering head of your MC 125: oil moves through adjustable valving, so hard hits are taken out of the bars before they reach your hands.
Is the Scott's stabilizer for the MC125 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 2005-2008 GasGas MC 125?
Scott's says yes, with a mount kit for the new bike. For the 2005-2008 GasGas MC 125, the mount kit only part: DM-6265.
What is a tank slapper, and do I need a steering stabilizer on my GasGas MC 125?
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 MC 125?
Fit depends on the model year. This page covers 2005-2008 of the GasGas MC 125. 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 MC125 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 MC125 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.
