kx forks

(1/1)

ZAR:
i have 3  kx 500s 88,89,91 i am going to put one together and sell the rest in parts. my question is which forks are better the 89 coventional or the 91 inverted. i mostly ride enduros and harescrambles on the eastcoast. alot of people tell me the 89 forks were the best they made. let me know what you think?

greencannon:
East guys like the flex of a conventional fork. It's pretty rough over here, and
those old forks do a great job of smoothing out the terrain.
Had an 87 K5 with a front end that loved the woods. Ive learned to love
the inverted setup. There is a wider range of adjustment to smooth out the extra rigidity
and they can take huge hits when properly sprung to your weight.

The Flyin Hawaiian:
Your going to keep one! Glad to hear it! Didnt try the lighting coil yet, hopefully soon.
Thanks ZAR.
