Product Description
RM65 steering stabilizer finder for the 2003-2007 Suzuki RM 65: a complete kit, a mount kit only and a bar clamp are listed below with their Scott's part numbers.

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.

What is a tank slapper, and do I need a steering stabilizer on my Suzuki RM 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.
