I'm headed down the path of suspension parts swapping, so I'm trying to determine any dimensional differences among the different models in the swingarm and rocker link dimensions.

I'm looking for measurements off of the 1997-2007 KLX300, the 2006-2007 KLX250S, and the 2008-2010 KLX250S.


Here's an extremely crude sketch, but you should be able to get the idea.


So whenever anyone gets the chance, take some measurements of your parts would ya? A, B, C, D, E, F

 

I'm interested in this too, and I will take the measurements on my 07 when the riding season is finished if nobody did it by that time.

What would be "F"? Don't see it in your sketch.

 

What the 'F' are you talking about? I guess I was just on a roll while typing. There was no F.

...But now that you mention it, the length of the shock between bolt hole centers would be useful, so now that's F.

I also thought about the dogbone lengths, but they're already pretty well known, so I left them out.

 

Keep in mind that the shock body on the KLX is different than most other shocks. The angle that the reservoir is mounted at is different. Most other shocks won't fit in its place.

Yeah, I'm aware of that, but it's a very good point.

What I'm interested in there is the length difference (if any) between the 94-07 'R' models, the 06-07 'S' models, and the 08-10 'S' models. Also the Stroker Performance shock or Ohlins KLX300 shocks, if anyone actually has one.

 

And "G" would be overall length. Front swingarm hole center to axle center line with wheel full forward.
