Product Description
FC steering stabilizer choices for Husaberg FC riders (1990-1991): a complete kit, a mount kit only and a bar clamp. Every option below comes from Scott's own fitment list for this bike. When the FC's front wheel hits something and the bars try to snap sideways, the damper resists that fast movement. 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-5664-00 and the bolt-on complete kit is part DS-5664-01; 4 more options are listed below.

Do I need to drill or weld?

What does a FC steering stabilizer do?
When the FC's front wheel hits something and the bars try to snap sideways, the damper resists that fast movement.
Is the Scott's stabilizer for the FC 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 Husaberg FC?
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 Husaberg FC?
Fit depends on the model year. This page covers 1990-1991 of the Husaberg FC. 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 FC 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 FC 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.
