Product Description
MC250F steering stabilizer setup for the 2021-2023 GasGas MC 250 F, built on the Scott's steering stabilizer, a hydraulic damper. This page lists a complete kit, a triple clamp kit, a mount kit only, a frame bracket and a bar clamp, each with its Scott's part number. A steering stabilizer does for the MC 250 F's handlebars what a shock does for the wheels: it controls fast movement with oil and valving you can adjust. For these years the weld-on complete kit is part DS-4551-00 (about 3.5 lb), the top mount complete kit is part DS-5970-02 (about 3.5 lb) and the sub mount complete kit is part DS-SUB-5925-02 (about 3.5 lb); 12 more options are listed below.

Questions riders ask
Which kit do I need for the MC 250 F?
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.
Will it fit my handlebars?
Check the bar diameter and the crossbar on your MC 250 F. Scott's says some bikes need different bars when the crossbar sits too low.

Does a Scott's MC250F 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 2021-2023 GasGas MC 250 F on this page.
What does a MC250F steering stabilizer do?
A steering stabilizer does for the MC 250 F'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 MC250F 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 2021-2023 GasGas MC 250 F?
Scott's says yes, with a mount kit for the new bike. For the 2021-2023 GasGas MC 250 F, the mount kit only parts: DM-4551-00, DM-5970-02, DM-SUB-5925-02.
What is a tank slapper, and do I need a steering stabilizer on my GasGas MC 250 F?
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 250 F?
Fit depends on the model year. This page covers 2021-2023 of the GasGas MC 250 F. 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 MC250F 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 MC250F 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.
