Top clamp

Dudes! Looking at putting a adjustable top triple clamp on the KX5. Trouble is the manufacturers do not list any thing to suit the kx500. Underneath the original top clamp, it reads kx250 (on one stamp) and 02 on the another. So we ordered a 02 kx250 top clamp and were amazed to find that the holes were too big! Measured the tops of my forks (53.9mm)
 Can any body tell me what diameter of the 00/01 kx 250 top of the fork would measure? Please? Thank you!  Very much.

I dont know the answer to your question but I do remember posts on here a ways back about the KX250 clamps being interchangeable... I think it was mid '90s KX250's though... I'll check the Kawi site and cross reference them for you if you like.

My 2001 KX500 has a 2001 KX250 top triple clamp on it, I broke mine and a friend loaned me that one. I'll be purchasing an adjustable for a 2001 KX250 shortly ;)

Didnt do much good on the Kawi site.... they all have the same 5-digit part # 44039... but then there is a dash and a 4 digit number of which are all different between the models. Here are some old posts I found on the clamp situation though.
