Does a Scott's RM250 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 2004-2005 Suzuki RM 250 on this page.
What does a RM250 steering stabilizer do?
On the RM 250, 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 RM250 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 2004-2005 Suzuki RM 250?

What is a tank slapper, and do I need a steering stabilizer on my Suzuki RM 250?
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 Suzuki RM 250?
Fit depends on the model year. This page covers 2004-2005 of the Suzuki RM 250. 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 RM250 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 RM250 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.
