Product Description
MC250 steering stabilizer setup for the 1998-1999 GasGas MC 250, built on the Scott's steering stabilizer, a hydraulic damper. This page lists a complete kit, a triple clamp kit, a mount kit only and a frame bracket, each with its Scott's part number. A steering stabilizer does for the MC 250's handlebars what a shock does for the wheels: it controls fast movement with oil and valving you can adjust. For these years the bolt-on complete kit is part DS-UM-2428-45 (about 3.5 lb), the triple clamp kit is part DT-6050-6265 (about 7.5 lb) and the bolt-on mount kit only is part DM-UM-2428-45 (about 2 lb); 1 more option are listed below.

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 1998-1999 GasGas MC 250 on this page.
What does a MC250 steering stabilizer do?
A steering stabilizer does for the MC 250'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 MC250 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 1998-1999 GasGas MC 250?
Scott's says yes, with a mount kit for the new bike. For the 1998-1999 GasGas MC 250, the mount kit only part: DM-UM-2428-45.
What is a tank slapper, and do I need a steering stabilizer on my GasGas MC 250?
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?
Fit depends on the model year. This page covers 1998-1999 of the GasGas MC 250. 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 MC250 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 MC250 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.
