Title: Fork spring application question
Post by: bigtwin100 on May 09, 2011, 09:27:21 AM

Would fork springs from a 2002 KX250 fit a 91 KX500? Thanks

Judging from the part numbers being completely different and the fact that there is 5MM or .197" difference in the chrome tube diameter I would have to say that they would not fit.
I'm prognosticating again dang it.....

Plus one for factory connection, they are the best I've used. Glad I'm only 70 miles away.
