Fork ID

(1/2) > >>

wills640:
Can anyone identify these forks for me? I took them off a USA Spec KX500 1989. I am however told these are not 1989 forks. My guess is some one took off the RSU 46mm KYB's and put these on. I now have a set of the 46's so need to sell these.

Motorrad:
They look like blue leg forks that someone stripped all the blue off of...

sandblaster:
I agree, they do look like the Blue style.
See if your specs match these:
USD -
Stamps on the bottoms of the forks: X125-R X125-L -
43MM CHROME OD -
Top of cap to the axle C/L 37.25" (Approximately)-
UPPER Triple clamp OD: 52MM -
LOWER Triple clamp OD: 56.6MM -
BRAKE MOUNT C/L 60.5MM
AXLE CLAMP 22MM ID

1990 were upside down and Not blue, looks like the picture

sandblaster:
Hi Don.
You are correct for a 1990.
However, those numbers stamped on the bottom of the fork tubes indicates that it was very possibly a different year.
If he can verify the numbers and measurements I posted I'm fairly certain I can tell him what they are for sure.
The 1990 KX500, kx250, and kx125 forks all used a 41MM chrome tube diameter.
That will be the nail in the coffin  :-)
My guess by the fork code is they are 91-93 and will be 43mm but, I have been wrong too many times to count  :lol:
