Mystery fork identification

(1/3) > >>

Meetstew:
Hi guys, new member here.

I’ve been enjoying my 2002 KX250 for about two years now. Great bike, still needing some tlc in some areas, but generally solid.
My forks started leaking recently so I ordered up a seal kit.
I thought it was strange when I got the bike that the front hub had a speedo drive on it but thought maybe the PO added it after market or something. I then realized the brake hose routing was different than the factory parts diagram. So I finally measured the tubes to see if they were even the stock forks. Nope. Just about 43mm instead of the 48mm that should’ve been there. Also, no external adjustments whatsoever.
My question is, is there a way to id these things so I can order up the proper seals? Or do I  just go by the dimensions and see if I can track something down? Thanks for any help.

Kawafornication:
Best bet is to put a picture up, sounds like it could be a set of KDX forks on the bike!

On the lower inside area of the fork will be some ID numbers and letters.
The 01 KX250 are ID'd like this:
Left fork K312-L
Right fork K312-R
Tell us what yours are...

Meetstew:
Sorry it’s taken a bit to reply.

So left leg is K328L
       Right is K328R

I did not see those numbers until I cleaned them up after you mentioned them.
Also, there are adjustment screws in the bottom of the legs I had also over looked. Thanks

sandblaster:
1996   KLX250R
1997-2002   KLX300R
1993-1996   KLX650R
Perhaps others as well...
Which means someone had to swap the triple clamps or make adapters, front axle, front wheel, and potentially the front brake.
You need to get rid of that and get what belongs on your bike.
