no they wont, you would need to do a stem change.stomlinson wrote:hi does any one know if a set of 1993 kx 250 triple clamps will bolt directly onto a 2001 kdx 220? i have seen tons of pics with guys with these same forks on there kdx's there like a anodized blue colour
the forks you have probably seen are on the SR models, a lot of the early kdx SR models came with blue anodised upside down forks.
best regards

93/94 KDX200 has the blue USD forks. I do not know for sure that the 93 kx forks will or won't fit. I have a set of 93 kx125 forks out in my shop. Keep meaning to compare the steering stem bearings, but haven't gotten around to it.

Re: 1993 kx 250 blue forks
The '93 KX forks will not bolt on, however it may be possible (though not confirmed) to use them with '91 KX triples, which do bolt-on to a KDX200 and are a similar fork to the '93 KX.
The blue '93-'94 stock KDX200 USD forks are different than the blue KX ones. They are 41mm (as is the '90 KX) versus 43mm, about 3/4" an inch shorter, and don't have a rebound adjuster (similar internally to what's on a klx). They also (obviously) bolt on to any KDX200.

1992 and newer KX125 and KX250 triple clamps do not directly mount to a KDX / KLX / KX500. A steering stem swap and possible machining or knurling may be needed, depending on years and models involved.
1993 and 1994 KDX200, as well as 1991 - 1994 KDX250 came stock with USD blue forks.
IF, IF, IF!!! I am remembering my measurements from several years ago correctly, then the following forks have the same OUTER TUBE outer diameter:
KLX250
KLX300
KLX650
KDX250 (1991 - 1994)
1991 - 1995 KX125 / KX250
1991 - 1996 KX500
I don't know about KLX offset, but KDX250 offset is the same as 1991 KX125 / 1991 KX250 / 1991 - 1993 KX500. 1992 - 1995 KX125 / KX250 / 1994 - 1996 KX500 is a little smaller offset.
