The part numbers for these years (DS-5971-02, DS-SUB-5930-02, DS-RDS-5971-02) are not used on the other generations, so match your model year before you order.

Does a Scott's 500 EXC-F 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 2020-2023 KTM 500 EXC-F on this page.
What does a 500 EXC-F steering stabilizer do?
When the 500 EXC-F's front wheel hits something and the bars try to snap sideways, the damper resists that fast movement.
Is the Scott's stabilizer for the 500 EXC-F 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 2020-2023 KTM 500 EXC-F?

What is a tank slapper, and do I need a steering stabilizer on my KTM 500 EXC-F?
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 500 EXC-F?
Fit depends on the model year. This page covers 2020-2023 of the KTM 500 EXC-F. 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 500 EXC-F 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 500 EXC-F 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.
