1997 KX TT

[Green Hornet]

Would a 1997 KX TT fit the 46mm forks??

[KDXer]

Not as far as I am aware. 99-01 only.

[Green Hornet]

Specs state 1997 KX125/250 has 46mm Forks. I answered my question.

[KDXer]

One of those links I sent ya were for 96-97 T/T and Jason said 99-01 only. I appologise.

Thats the one

Even though the lower inner tube may be ALL 46mm, the top outer tubes (T/T clamping area) may be different sizes. Just a thought...

Hey GH, what did you buy from this user; langlois4h3m ??

I bought something from that user just after you did but can't remember what is was, any ideas ??

Yep. Found a couple of sites KYB 46mm upto 2002 when they went to 48mm. This fellow has the matching forks for the TT and they are 46mm

Green Hornet, are you a thick skinned New York city, New York state type person, or from the more rural part of NY and normal like the rest of us?

[Green Hornet]

Why what r u going to tell me, that one won't work either

"thick skinned New York city, New York state type person, or from the more rural part of NY and normal like the rest of us?"

A little bit of everything. HATE RUDE People, HATE F$%KING TRAFFIC, HATE STUPID PEOPLE and like living in the BURBS, where A$$HOLES are only a DIME A DOZEN

Sorry, but that is indeed what I would like to pass on. Sure, you can shim them up/have them bored out, etc., but as far as fitting as designed, then "no", those won't work. In the thread where skipro3 and I were kidding each other, I suggested that you buy a set of 1999 - 2001 clamps. I don't know if you missed that, or were just focused on what you thought was right or what. In another thread, KDXr pointed out those clamps you just won, and when he asked would these work for you, I replied "FLAT OUT NO".

It seems you are focused on 46mm or 48mm. 46mm is the forks' inner tubes' diameter. The clamps do not clamp on the inner tubes. They clamp on the outer tubes. From 1996 - 2001, the OD's of the outer tubes changed a few times. Since you said you won 2001 forks, that is why I suggested that you buy a set of 1999 - 2001 clamps.

I hope this helps.

[Green Hornet]

The above you are refering to the 2003 TT??

[KDXGarage]

On the skipro3 and I kidding around post, yes. The one where I said flat out no was another post.

2003 is too big/too big

1997 is too small/too big

[Green Hornet]

Oh Well

[KDXGarage]

I'll give you $20 for both of them. See, there is always a bright side.

Does what I was talking about in the earlier posts make sense? I can explain it further if you want (everyone screams nOOOO)

[Green Hornet]

I makes sense, but can it work-YESSSS
I'll see how the 97 fits up and then I'll decide what I will do next. The KAW Site froze when I was checking part numbers and the page did'nt refresh like I thought it did. Thats how I made a mistake with the numbers. But they may bolt up fine. I don't now yet.

1997 is too small/too big

I am glad that you tried to get proper fitting ones instead of fooling with the 2003 ones.

Did you already get the 2003 clamps, as in arrived at your house?

Thanks.

EDIT: Sorry if that sounds confusing. I know that you won an auction for the 2003 clamps. Have you already received them? Thanks.

[Green Hornet]

Yep. Gotem
