Questions riders ask
Which kit do I need for the FX 450?
If you do not have a Scott's stabilizer yet, pick a complete kit. If you already own one, a mount kit only moves it to this bike.
Will it fit my handlebars?
Check the bar diameter and the crossbar on your FX 450. Scott's says some bikes need different bars when the crossbar sits too low.

What is a tank slapper, and do I need a steering stabilizer on my Husqvarna FX 450?
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.
