Product Description
KDX250 steering stabilizer choices for Kawasaki KDX 250 riders (1991-1994): a complete kit, a mount kit only and a bar clamp. Every option below comes from Scott's own fitment list for this bike.

What is a tank slapper, and do I need a steering stabilizer on my Kawasaki KDX 250?
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.
