Questions riders ask
Which kit do I need for the YZF-R6S?

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-R6S, ask before ordering.

What is a tank slapper, and do I need a steering stabilizer on my Yamaha YZF-R6S?
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-R6S?
