Questions riders ask
Which kit do I need for the FE 501 S?

Do I need to drill or weld?
Scott's lists most kits as bolt-on with no welding and offers a weld-on version for tight spaces. Any drilling is noted in the kit options above.

Is the Scott's stabilizer for the FE501S the same as on other bikes?

What is a tank slapper, and do I need a steering stabilizer on my Husqvarna FE 501 S?
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 Husqvarna FE 501 S?
Fit depends on the model year. This page covers 2020-2023 of the Husqvarna FE 501 S. 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 FE501S 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 FE501S 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.
