1989 kdx200 linkage question

[harvesters01]

Thank you I did post one on there as well as have an email into Jeff at FRP. Jeff handled the cylinder plating and other cylinder work.

Thanks for all the advice, let me know if you see any shocks!

One more question for you. What do the last four digits in the shock PN mean? The 92 shock shown above didn't match exactly in PN but it's from an e series so should work. The shock shown below has the same base PN (first five digits) just a newer unit.

12345-6789 is a part number. 12345 is a reference number on a diagram or a set kind of part, generally. For example, 45014 is "shock", 92015 is "bolt", 11009 is "gasket" (if I am remembering correctly). A KDX250 or 1995+ KDX200 / KDX220R shock WILL NOT work on a 1989 - 1994 KDX200. The reservoir on a 1989 - 1994 shock goes down, as the pipe is above it. On the others, the reservoir goes up, as the pipe goes below it.

The reason you are not seeing the same exact part number is because the 1989 KDX200 came with a lime green spring. The 1990 - 1994 came with a sky blue spring.

Here's a pic of a 1991 KDX200 shock I was working on back in 2005. It shows the reservoir angled down.

Off topic but, I just wanted to say, I love how many members I have seen restoring our beloved KDX's.
