What is a tank slapper, and do I need a steering stabilizer on my Honda CRF 450 R?
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 450 R?
Fit depends on the model year. This page covers 2017-2018 of the Honda CRF 450 R. 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 CRF450R steering stabilizer?

How do I service a Scott's CRF450R 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.
