Title: Triple clamps
Post by: giac76 on February 27, 2012, 09:19:25 AM
I have a kx 250 2006, and I have a problem with my triple clamps....... Other triple clamps from other bike would work well for me?? for exemple from kxf 250 or 450 or even else other like hondas,suzukis etc  Thanks a lot for the helps!

Did you break your stock KX250 triple clamps?

Are you looking for replacement triple clamps that might come off of a completely different bike?

I put on a set of Applied triple clamps with 21.5mm offset. Stock is 25mm offset. The improvement in handling is outstanding, turns great, and stability is much improved, no more front end washout. If you can find 2002 KX125 or 250 clamps (22mm offset), those will work, but you will need the stem from your '06.

That's some awesome info!

Did you go with the Applied clamps for extra strength over a set of '02 KX clamps, or was it the bling factor, or both?

Either way, it's good to know about options like that.

 I couldn't find a set of 02 clamps used, and I wanted to see if the clamps were going to fix the handling, if they didn't I was going to sell the bike and go for something else. But they work great, I really like how the bike handles now, wouldn't trade it for anything...
