Product Description
CRF250L steering stabilizer choices for Honda CRF 250 L riders (2013-2020): a complete kit, a mount kit only and a bar clamp. Every option below comes from Scott's own fitment list for this bike. The damper sits at the CRF 250 L's steering head and resists fast left to right bar movement, which helps when gravel, sand or washboard starts the front end shaking. For these years the bolt-on complete kit is part DS-5550 and the bolt-on mount kit only is part DM-5550; 1 more option are listed below.

The damper sits at the CRF 250 L's steering head and resists fast left to right bar movement, which helps when gravel, sand or washboard starts the front end shaking.
Is the Scott's stabilizer for the CRF250L 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 CRF 250 L?
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 CRF 250 L?
Fit depends on the model year. This page covers all years of the Honda CRF 250 L. 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 CRF250L 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 CRF250L 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.
