Hi guys and gals,
I have a 1999 KDX200 just wondering if a set of 1997 KX125 forks and triples would bolt on or do they require some work?
Thank you in advance

Thanks, I'm thinking for the sort of riding I want to do I'll just get the OEM sprung for my weight and have them serviced (yes the rear as well)

For most trail work that is the best thing to do.....If you hit MX tracks, a fork conversion would be ideal, but only if you jump (real jumps).
I had the forks (USDs) on my 93 done up at a suspension shop...they are great for what I use the bike for....even in the high speed dessert, but I paid for that.
I'm doing a fork conversion on my 95 right now, using RM250 (showa) forks. It is EXPESIVE to have it all done (including having the forks valved and lowered) but I WILL put those forks to very good use!

97 KX forks on 99 KDX?
They will bolt on if you replace the stem from the kdx into the triples of the KX.MaverickAus wrote:Hi guys and gals,

You will also need a spacer for the top. RB makes one.
You need the kx wheel and front axle as well.
The rear of the KDX is pretty good as is for mid-weight riders.
