Product Description
YZ80 steering stabilizer for your Yamaha YZ 80: this page covers the 1993-2001 bikes and shows a complete kit, a triple clamp kit, a mount kit only and a bar clamp from Scott's Performance. It is a small hydraulic damper at the steering head of your YZ 80: oil moves through adjustable valving, so hard hits are taken out of the bars before they reach your hands.

Questions riders ask
Which kit do I need for the YZ 80?
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 80. Scott's says some bikes need different bars when the crossbar sits too low.

What is a tank slapper, and do I need a steering stabilizer on my Yamaha YZ 80?
