It is a small hydraulic damper at the steering head of your XR 400 R: oil moves through adjustable valving, so hard hits are taken out of the bars before they reach your hands.

What is a tank slapper, and do I need a steering stabilizer on my Honda XR 400 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 400 R?
Fit depends on the model year. This page covers all years of the Honda XR 400 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 XR400R 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 XR400R 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.
