What does a 500 XCW steering stabilizer do?
On the 500 XCW, the stabilizer mounts at the steering head and slows fast left to right movement of the bars, the shake you feel when a rock, rut or whoop tries to turn the front wheel.
Is the Scott's stabilizer for the 500 XCW 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.

What is a tank slapper, and do I need a steering stabilizer on my KTM 500 XCW?

Will a Scott's steering stabilizer fit my KTM 500 XCW?
Fit depends on the model year. This page covers 2012-2015 of the KTM 500 XCW. 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 XCW steering stabilizer?
