This page lists a complete kit, a mount kit only and a bar clamp, each with its Scott's part number.

On the TE 511, the stabilizer mounts at the steering head and slows fast left to right movement of the bars, the shake you feel when a rock, rut or whoop tries to turn the front wheel.
Is the Scott's stabilizer for the TE511 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 Husqvarna TE 511?
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 TE 511?
Fit depends on the model year. This page covers all years of the Husqvarna TE 511. 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 TE511 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 TE511 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.
