What does a KX250 steering stabilizer do?
A steering stabilizer does for the KX 250's handlebars what a shock does for the wheels: it controls fast movement with oil and valving you can adjust.

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.
Can I move my Scott's stabilizer to a 1999-2001 Kawasaki KX 250?

What is a tank slapper, and do I need a steering stabilizer on my Kawasaki KX 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.
Will a Scott's steering stabilizer fit my Kawasaki KX 250?
Fit depends on the model year. This page covers 1999-2001 of the Kawasaki KX 250. 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 KX250 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 KX250 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.
