Hi All,
A guy on my local Craigslist is parting out a 2001 KX250. What parts would I need to get from him to do a conversion on my '97 220? Are the KX250 forks o.k. or do I need to be looking for KX125 forks?
A fork conversion really isn't at the top of my need/want list at the moment but I saw the ad and thought I might try and grab the parts while they are available and cheap enough.
Thanks!

I've never stepped on the scale in full gear but I would guess about 245-250. I have the stock 2000 KX 250 forks and they seem to work great for me. Much better than the KDX forks but still a little room to improve.
Yes valving and springs would make a difference but budget wise the 250 forks were better for me.
