Product Description
65 steering stabilizer for the 2012-2020 KTM 65, with 7 Scott's Performance kit options on this page: a complete kit, a mount kit only, a frame bracket and a bar clamp.

For these years the top mount complete kit is part DS-5062 (about 3.5 lb), the sub mount complete kit is part DS-SUB-5028 (about 3.5 lb) and the top mount mount kit only is part DM-5062 (about 2 lb); 4 more options are listed below.

Scott's lists 4 kit generations for the 65: 1998-2001, 2002-2011, 2012-2020, 2021-2023. This page covers 2012-2020. The part numbers for these years (DS-5062, DS-SUB-5028, DM-5062) are not used on the other generations, so match your model year before you order. For comparison, the nearest generations: 2021-2023 uses DS-5062-01; 2002-2011 uses DS-4551-00; 1998-2001 uses DS-4551-00.

Questions riders ask
Which kit do I need for the 65?
If you do not have a Scott's stabilizer yet, pick a complete kit. If you already own one, a mount kit only moves it to this bike.
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 65 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 2012-2020 KTM 65 on this page.
What does a 65 steering stabilizer do?
A steering stabilizer does for the 65'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 65 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 2012-2020 KTM 65?
Scott's says yes, with a mount kit for the new bike. For the 2012-2020 KTM 65, the mount kit only parts: DM-5062, DM-SUB-5028.
What is a tank slapper, and do I need a steering stabilizer on my KTM 65?
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 65?
Fit depends on the model year. This page covers 2012-2020 of the KTM 65. 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 65 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 65 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.
