I had already put 2002 KX 125 forks on my 2006 KDX 200 as referenced in an earlier post. Turns out my neighbor blew up his 2006 KX 250F and it would cost more to fix than his bike is worth. He decided to part it out and I got the complete front end including wheel, brakes, clamps for $150. I thought, what the heck, my bike is a '06 and so are these forks so I upgraded. I was using 2004 KX 500 clamps on the prior conversion so I kept those. I had to use the KX 250F top clamp as the top diameter of the forks is smaller than the '02 125 forks. I also ended up using my KDX front brakes as the 250F hose was too short to work with the headlight. It would have been fine if I was using a number plate up front but I like my headlight.







I took the bike to the MX track yesterday without doing anything to the forks, not even playing with the clickers. It worked really well! Suspension is more plush than on my MX bike but it still seems able to take the bigger hits. I could consistently clear a 45 foot table jump with no bottoming or harsh rebound. Me likey!!!

How do the forks compare to the 02 kyb's. Do you know the spring rate? You even got a wave rotor out of the deal

The '06 forks are very similar to the '02. I don't know the spring rate but free sag was exactly the same on both. Probably both had stock springs. I weigh 155 lbs w/o gear so the stock rate is right in the ballpark.

Hope not a dumb question, but wheel, and axle did you use with the kx 500 lower tree on that 06 250f front end on the kdx??

Do you know if 04 fork guards would fit the bolt pattern on 02 forks?

Muddertrucker,

I thouhgt that name sounded familiar. I was the one selling the fork guards. I sent you a message. I don't think they will work.

Thanks for the answer, I totaly forgot to look at the time left on the auction.
