Product Description
EX 250 Ninja steering stabilizer setup for the 1997-2007 Kawasaki EX 250 Ninja, built on the Scott's steering stabilizer, a hydraulic damper. This page lists a complete kit and a mount kit only, each with its Scott's part number. Hard braking, a bump mid-corner or a wheelie that lands slightly off line can start head shake on a EX 250 Ninja; the damper slows the fast movement of the bars. For these years the weld-on complete kit is part RS-60-0053-40S (about 3.5 lb) and the weld-on mount kit only is part RM-60-0053 (about 2 lb).
