Questions riders ask
Which kit do I need for the YZ 250F?
If you do not have a Scott's stabilizer yet, pick a complete kit. If you already own one, a mount kit only moves it to this bike.
Will it fit my handlebars?
Check the bar diameter and the crossbar on your YZ 250F. Scott's says some bikes need different bars when the crossbar sits too low.

Does a Scott's YZ250F 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 2012-2013 Yamaha YZ 250F on this page.
What does a YZ250F steering stabilizer do?
On the YZ 250F, 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 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.
Can I move my Scott's stabilizer to a 2012-2013 Yamaha YZ 250F?
Scott's says yes, with a mount kit for the new bike. For the 2012-2013 Yamaha YZ 250F, the mount kit only parts: DM-4765, DM-SUB-4725-01R, DM-SUB-4725-01.
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 2012-2013 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.
