Which kit do I need for the XR 650 L?

Is the stabilizer sold separately?
Yes. The stabilizer on its own is part 4200-00 and fits every Scott's kit; the mount kit decides which bike it fits.

What is a tank slapper, and do I need a steering stabilizer on my Honda XR 650 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.
