Product Description
450 steering stabilizer for your Sherco 450: this page covers the 2006-2012 bikes and shows a complete kit, a mount kit only and a bar clamp from Scott's Performance. It is a small hydraulic damper at the steering head of your 450: oil moves through adjustable valving, so hard hits are taken out of the bars before they reach your hands. For these years the weld-on complete kit is part DS-4551-14 (about 3.5 lb) and the weld-on mount kit only is part DM-4551-14 (about 3 lb); 1 more option are listed below.

Questions riders ask
Which kit do I need for the 450?
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.
Will it fit my handlebars?
Check the bar diameter and the crossbar on your 450. Scott's says some bikes need different bars when the crossbar sits too low.

Does a Scott's 450 steering damper kit come with the mounts?

What does a 450 steering stabilizer do?
It is a small hydraulic damper at the steering head of your 450: oil moves through adjustable valving, so hard hits are taken out of the bars before they reach your hands.
Is the Scott's stabilizer for the 450 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 Sherco 450?
Scott's says yes, with a mount kit for the new bike. For the Sherco 450, the mount kit only part: DM-4551-14.
What is a tank slapper, and do I need a steering stabilizer on my Sherco 450?
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 Sherco 450?
Fit depends on the model year. This page covers all years of the Sherco 450. 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 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 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.
