I've been storing a mates 04 KDX200 in my garage, never really paid too much attention to be honest as too busy with my vmx bikes... Until he offered it to me for sale. So had bit of a nosey at it, and after a bit of reading on here, it seems to have some of the desirable upgrades:
1) Pro-circuit Platinum II pipe with 304 silencer
2) RB carb or mod
3) KX or KLX forks, how do I tell?
No idea if anything else has been done.
So I reckon I'm gonna buy it.
Question: The fork protectors need replacing as the top bracket is broken and sliders pop out etc. Are the replacement fork protectors suitable for all KX\KLX forks? Or do I need to know what bike and year the forks are off before purchasing online?
Any other pointers appreciated, here's some pics of it, cheers.

Hi. With the lower clamp only having one bolt, they would be KLX. The fork caps should have only an air screw and not a rebound adjuster like KX forks.

Cool, thanks for that. From what i can see the KLX300 was made from 1996-2007 with no changes to the fork construction, therefore same fork protector for them all. Sound about right?
Cheers

yes, may be 1994 - 1996 KLX250R also, as they mostly just upgraded the engine for 1997 - 2007 (USA wise)

Kouba Link stickers, you can check the linkage to see if it's stamped 112.5 which is the OEM unit
