Questions riders ask
Which kit do I need for the CRF 450 X?
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 CRF 450 X. Scott's says some bikes need different bars when the crossbar sits too low.

What does a CRF450X steering stabilizer do?

Is the Scott's stabilizer for the CRF450X 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 450 X?
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 X?
Fit depends on the model year. This page covers 2008-2009 of the Honda CRF 450 X. 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 CRF450X steering stabilizer?

How do I service a Scott's CRF450X 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.
