Product Description
CR250 steering stabilizer for your Honda CR 250: this page covers the 1988-1994 bikes and shows a complete kit, a mount kit only and a bar clamp from Scott's Performance. A steering stabilizer does for the CR 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 weld-on complete kit is part DS-4551-00 (about 3.5 lb) and the weld-on mount kit only is part DM-4551-00 (about 1.5 lb); 1 more option are listed below.

Questions riders ask
Which kit do I need for the CR 250?
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 CR 250. Scott's says some bikes need different bars when the crossbar sits too low.

What does a CR250 steering stabilizer do?
A steering stabilizer does for the CR 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 CR250 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 Honda CR 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 Honda CR 250?
Fit depends on the model year. This page covers 1988-1994 of the Honda CR 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 CR250 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 CR250 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.
