You can cross reference the bearing sizes on All Balls website but why would you want the klx 650 forks they are an old design, conventional. I don't see any upgrade in using them.

KLX650 forks are inverted. I think they're a variation on KLX300 forks, and likely bolt straight on.

KLR650 forks are conventional.

Yes, but any 650 fork is gonna have some beefy springs in it.....650s are HEAVY bikes r/x doesn't matter, there is a lot of weight built into those machines and I'm sure the X is sprung properly for it. So plan on at the least putting a set of springs in (not that any other conversion would be different) and a re-valve.

Are you 185 in gear or just 185 by yourself?

Pretty smart to get the more heavily sprung forks.


KLX650 should be as KLX300 or older KLX250.

I'd take a look at any of the other KLX conversion threads in this subforum. It's likely pretty much the same.
