Product Description
SV650S steering stabilizer setup for the 2003-2009 Suzuki SV 650S, 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. On a road bike like the SV 650S, head shake often starts when you roll off the throttle and the front end dives, or when the front wheel lands slightly off line; a steering stabilizer slows that side to side movement. For these years the complete kit is part RS-19-1425-40F (about 3.5 lb), the complete kit is part RS-19-1435-40F (about 3.5 lb) and the mount kit only is part RM-19-1425 (about 2 lb); 1 more option are listed below.
