Mounted just above the bar clamp on the Yamaha YZ 250F, it works against head shake and the sudden jolt that follows a hidden root or rock.
Is the Scott's stabilizer for the YZ250F 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.

What is a tank slapper, and do I need a steering stabilizer on my Yamaha YZ 250F?
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 Yamaha YZ 250F?
Fit depends on the model year. This page covers 2001-2003 of the Yamaha YZ 250F. 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 YZ250F 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 YZ250F 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.
