1993 KX fork swap
Anyone here swap fork legs with a '93 KX125/250? Do you also have to swap the triple clamp or just simply slide in the new legs and go?

Search KLX/KX fork swap, you'll find a good thread on thumpertalk.
I have a set of those forks and may be willing to part with them. |
I did search and saw some threads but for the KLX-R owners.. the S models have the ignition switch built into the top clamp so I can't swap the entire tree. Hoping the legs will swap out -- why didn't you use the forks you have available?

I am buying a different setup for my bike.
Article here, and the stock triples work. I think i also have the KX triples, too. HOW TO INSTALL KX-250 FORKS ON THE KLX-300 |
I read that article earlier. He is swapping internals and not the whole fork legs (in order to keep the same ride height).
I want to swap legs to get a little taller seat height, so that article isn't as helpful for me. What setup are you going with? |
Be sure to compare the length of the KX and KLX forks from axel to top in order to keep the steering geometry the same.

Yeah that's not what I want.
Since I cannot find anyone with a KLX250S who has done this swap, I've picked up a cheap set of 93 forks on Ebay and will see what all is involved. Again, I want increased seat height which the KX forks supposedly offer. I'm also using a set of 112.5mm oem KDX200 pull rods to give a little more height on the rear. Guess I will make this thread my info/how to.. if it can be done at all. |

I have no idea what all is involved yet since there is zero information that I can find specific to the 2006-2007 KLX250S.
