Fork Rebuild Kits
Can anyone recommend a fork rebuild kit for the 91-95 KX250 forks. Looked at moto pro but will be kind of expensive when you buy two of everything.
Pivot Works lists a kit for the KLX300 that might fit, but nothing for the older KX250 forks.
Also any recommendations on re-valving the KX forks would also be appreciated. Not sure if this would help much. Ride MX, trails, street but want the suspension geared toward MX.
Any help is appreciated.

I think MooseRacing might have a kit with seals and bushings in it.
What year forks did you end up going with?
As far as revalving, and I am no expert, I would say that if you wanted it more geared to mx I might just leave the valving alone. Just change the bushings and seals and get it sprung for your weight.

The guy that I bought them from said they were from a 95. The best that I can tell 91 to 95 should be all the same. Also thinking valves may not be needed, just want to try and avoid tearing them apart twice.
I found a cross reference that shows the same rebuild kit for several different models. The KLX300 97-05 seem to be fairly easy to find, just hope they fit the KX forks. I'll take a look at Moose Racing and see what they have before I order. Thanks for the heads up.

91-95 are all 43mm. I heard that in 94 the caliper bolt pattern changed to the same as the klx. I have not been able to get a conformation if the 91-93 forks will accept the klx caliper.
I belive that the 125cc and 500cc forks are also the same in those years, so a rebuild kit for those should also work.

Went in and looked at the micro fisch on Ron Ayers and it looks like there is a difference in one of the bushings for the KLX300 forks. The other bushing and both seals are the same but don't think the kits will be interchangeable. Looks like I can get all the parts there for a shade under $90.
As far as the caliper mount goes, I may have got lucky. I haden't heard about them being different.
