i was wondering how does a sttering stablizer work and how much does it improve the handling of your quad also if you already have a antivibe sttering stem do you still need a stabalizer thanks!!!:confused:

And yes, you still can run both,the stabilizer helps all the " wander" you get on the front of your qaud, I know mine I crank all the way up when riding in Sand
what will this be going on? I have both anti vibe and damper, you will notice right off what a difference they both will make and the amt of arm fatigue will lessen with having them :)

it puts tension on the steering stem, and you can adjust the tension for different riding terrain. As said above it helps your steering from dancing around side to side in rough terrain which can help reduce arm pumps. But mainly just used in race applications, if only recreational riding is done its probably not worth having one.

thanks, I would appreciate that, I have done searches upon searches and all I have learned it make sure that it doesn't bind when the bars are turned. not a whole lot of helpful info on this. I have 2 denton rebuildables and thought about doing one from the front and one from the back.

i could not get mine to mount up properly last night, it would always bind when I turned to one side. i have seen some people mount theirs from the front right side motor mount, any one have any suggestions.

on a 400ex the stabilizer works the best mounted to the left motor mount, no binding. I've tried other places in the past on my old 400ex and they all binded.
