Hello.

I have found some relatively cheap kdx250 usd blue anodised forks.

I have a kdx200 1989 E with stock forks.

I was wondering if these 250 forks are any beefier than what i currently have?

And if it was worth the swap?

If yes is it a straight bolt on for triples, axle and caliper etc?

The seller does not know what year the bike is but he said it was the model with the metal tank.

Thanks in Advance

jmho, I would not waste the time on that. Same damping i believe.

KDX250 forks - cartridge type
KDX200 E-model forks - damper type

With some gold valves and springs the 250 forks would be really nice on the 200. Especially if they're cheap. The E series will always be old style damper duds.
