KX axle lengths

Post by KDXer »

Am I going mad or did someone delete a post asking about axle length for a set of 2005 KX forks ?? :rolleyes: I went to measure it and now can't find the post. :blink:
If so, my 2001 KX forks have an axle that measures 235mm long.

Sorry, I deleted my own post.

I got my questions answered over at ThumperTalk and no one had replied here so I deleted it.

I had purchased 2005 KX-125 fork and they've turned out to be 2002/03 forks. I found this out when I purchased a axle that was too short.

If anyone is interested,

05/04 front axles are the same that are 223mm in length with 19 & 29mm spacers.

03/02 axles are the same with approx 238mm length with 20 & 36mm spacers.


Anyone need a front axle for 05/04 w/spacers $35.00 free shpping.

Ohhhhhhhhh I'm looking for a 02/03 axle now. :sad:

I've found one on e-bay w/ spacers just waiting for the date to get closer and see what it'll go for. I don't want to over pay like I did on the last axle hahaha I was impatient and did the "buy now." :oops:


If you want to check measurements that would be great.
Thanks

I guess I could sell mine for say ... 34 $ with shipping :mrgreen:
(Seriously if an 01 works and you want it, it's yours for 15 $ shipping included)
