Product Description
450 EXCR steering stabilizer setup for the 2009-2011 KTM 450 EXC-R, built on the Scott's steering stabilizer, a hydraulic damper. This page lists a complete kit, a triple clamp kit, a mount kit only, a frame bracket and a bar clamp, each with its Scott's part number. A steering stabilizer does for the 450 EXC-R's handlebars what a shock does for the wheels: it controls fast movement with oil and valving you can adjust. For these years the weld-on complete kit is part DS-4551-00 (about 3.5 lb), the top mount complete kit is part DS-5962 (about 3.5 lb) and the sub mount complete kit is part DS-SUB-5928-01 (about 3.5 lb); 13 more options are listed below.

Questions riders ask
Which kit do I need for the 450 EXC-R?

Do I need to drill or weld?
Scott's lists most kits as bolt-on with no welding and offers a weld-on version for tight spaces. Any drilling is noted in the kit options above.

Does a Scott's 450 EXC-R steering damper kit come with the mounts?
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 2009-2011 KTM 450 EXC-R on this page.
What does a 450 EXC-R steering stabilizer do?
A steering stabilizer does for the 450 EXC-R's handlebars what a shock does for the wheels: it controls fast movement with oil and valving you can adjust.
Is the Scott's stabilizer for the 450 EXC-R 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 2009-2011 KTM 450 EXC-R?
Scott's says yes, with a mount kit for the new bike. For the 2009-2011 KTM 450 EXC-R, the mount kit only parts: DM-4551-00, DM-5962, DM-SUB-5928-01.
What is a tank slapper, and do I need a steering stabilizer on my KTM 450 EXC-R?
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 450 EXC-R?
Fit depends on the model year. This page covers 2009-2011 of the KTM 450 EXC-R. 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 450 EXC-R 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 450 EXC-R 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.
