Product Description
RM250 steering stabilizer setup for the 1987-1988 Suzuki RM 250, built on the Scott's steering stabilizer, a hydraulic damper. This page lists a complete kit and a mount kit only, each with its Scott's part number. It is a small hydraulic damper at the steering head of your RM 250: 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-UM-2233-55 (about 3.5 lb) and the weld-on mount kit only is part DM-UM-2233-55 (about 3 lb).
