The complete kit does. Scott's lists a complete kit as the one with everything you need to get a stabilizer on the bike, and a mount kit only as the part for riders who already own a Scott's stabilizer. Both are options for the 2000-2005 KTM 300 EXC on this page.
What does a 300 EXC steering stabilizer do?
KTM 300 EXC riders fit a steering stabilizer to calm head shake in whoops, ruts and rocky sections without changing anything else on the bike.
Is the Scott's stabilizer for the 300 EXC 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.
Can I move my Scott's stabilizer to a 2000-2005 KTM 300 EXC?

What is a tank slapper, and do I need a steering stabilizer on my KTM 300 EXC?
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 KTM 300 EXC?
Fit depends on the model year. This page covers 2000-2005 of the KTM 300 EXC. 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 300 EXC 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 300 EXC 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.
