Product Description
YZFR1 steering stabilizer choices for Yamaha YZF-R1 riders (2004-2006): a complete kit and a mount kit only. Every option below comes from Scott's own fitment list for this bike. The damper mounts at the YZF-R1's steering head and resists fast movement of the bars, which Scott's describes as extra security under hard braking and after the front wheel lifts under acceleration. For these years the complete kit is part RS-79-0044-45F (about 3.5 lb) and the mount kit only is part RM-79-0044 (about 2 lb).

Questions riders ask
Which kit do I need for the YZF-R1?
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.
Does it work with the original triple clamps?
Scott's designs its road bike kits to fit with the original triple clamps and other original parts. If you changed the clamps on your YZF-R1, ask before ordering.

What is a tank slapper, and do I need a steering stabilizer on my Yamaha YZF-R1?
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 YZF-R1?
Fit depends on the model year. This page covers 2004-2006 of the Yamaha YZF-R1. 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 service a Scott's YZFR1 steering stabilizer?
