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

How do I set the damping on a RMX250 steering stabilizer?

How do I service a Scott's RMX250 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.
