zskunk:
will a rear shock from a 86 kx125 work on a 86 kx500 ?? or is there any other yr that would work ?

jonny500:
i am sure it will fit. its the rim width that will be different, obviously wider on the 500 that the 125

sandblaster:
Hello.
Here is some measurements fro an 86 KX500 Shock.
Obviously the spring info can change depending on adjustment and rates, ect:
All dimensions are approximate:
Spring thickness: 12MM OD -
Spring Diameter: 88MM -
Spring length as mounted: 267MM -
Upper mount tab thickness: 32MM -
Upper mount tab hole ID: 12MM -
Lower Mount Internal Width: 26.5MM -
Lower mount hole ID: 10MM -
Eye to Eye: 420MM
Before you buy a 125 shock, simply compare the measurements.
Also, a 125 shock will almost certainly have different internal dampening, rebound, and spring size.

jonny500:
SORRY! I AM LOSEING IT :-o, I THOUGHT YOU SAID READ WHEEL. SO LETS START AGAIN LOL :-D. I WOULD WOULD SAY IT WILL FIT BUT THE SPRINGS WILL HAVE TO BE SWAPED :wink:

zskunk:
thanks guys .. i have the old spring from the 500 .. the shock has a wear mark on the shaft that is so wore down, that i don't think hard chrome could build it back to spec.
