Product Description
XR200R steering stabilizer for the 1986-2005 Honda XR 200 R, with 6 Scott's Performance kit options on this page: a complete kit, a mount kit only, a frame bracket and a bar clamp. It is a small hydraulic damper at the steering head of your XR 200 R: oil moves through adjustable valving, so hard hits are taken out of the bars before they reach your hands. For these years the weld-on complete kit is part DS-4551-00 (about 3.5 lb), the bolt-on complete kit is part DS-5360-02 (about 3.5 lb) and the weld-on mount kit only is part DM-4551-00 (about 1.5 lb); 3 more options are listed below.

What does a XR200R steering stabilizer do?
It is a small hydraulic damper at the steering head of your XR 200 R: oil moves through adjustable valving, so hard hits are taken out of the bars before they reach your hands.
Is the Scott's stabilizer for the XR200R 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 Honda XR 200 R?
Scott's says yes, with a mount kit for the new bike. For the Honda XR 200 R, the mount kit only parts: DM-4551-00, DM-5360-02.
What is a tank slapper, and do I need a steering stabilizer on my Honda XR 200 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 XR 200 R?
Fit depends on the model year. This page covers all years of the Honda XR 200 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 XR200R 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 XR200R 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.
