What forks for 96 kx 500 triple tree
I got a complete triple clamp set up off a 96 kx 500. Now I'm looking for forks for them anybody know what ones I can use in these. Even different manufactures this way it will open up my options.

Re: What forks for 96 kx 500 triple tree
if its a 96 it should be for 43mm forks.
91-94 kx125-250 will fit.
if you get 94's you will be able to use your kdx caliper.

The clamps clamp onto the outer tubes, not the 43mm inner tubes.
1991 - 1995 KX125
1991 - 1995 KX250
1991 - 1996 KX500
The outer tubes of those forks have the same outer diameters.

I am sure most people know where to measure the forks from, and how they fit hence the list of what would fit that I gave.Jason wrote:The clamps clamp onto the outer tubes, not the 43mm inner tubes.

if we need to be technical , outer tube sizes......upper 52mm........lower 56.6mm.
my previous quote about the caliper, I have just noticed you have a 89 200, so you would need to get a suitable caliper also, axle and wheel to would be easiest.

The later forks with 46mm inner tubes do have different outer tube dimensions for a few different years.

correct for the 125 & 250, 46mm kx500 stayed the same size throughout the years 97-2004.Jason wrote:The later forks with 46mm inner tubes do have different outer tube dimensions for a few different years.

Thanks, this will help in my search for forks, gives me a little wider range to choose from. Then the search for front wheel and axle will start, this will be a piece at a time project when I have the extra money for it.

Re: What forks for 96 kx 500 triple tree
I have an ENTIRE 1991 KX 250 front end that will bolt right on. I had it on my bike for a week (2002 kdx 200) comes with everything except MC and line. It will need seals though. Where do you live here in Michigan?
