94 KDX 200 front end swap to a 01 kx 250

Post by GreenGoblin22 »

OK guys i have read a lot of topics on here but i have a question. I have a 94 kdx 200 and i bought a 01 kx250 complete front end. Can i use the 01 steering stem on the 94. I read that RB Designs does a mod for the steering stem which i will do if i need to. I got the triples,forks,steering stem,brakes,rim,axle. I did not see a thread on this exact swap. I would think if i could use that steering stem i wouldn't need any Knurling done. I am thinking that the frame is different and thats why it needs knurled. If anyone has done this swap can you let me know if there is anything i am missing. From what i have read you have to have knurling done if you reuse your steering stem (the one currently on my 94). Once again I have the complete front end. Thanks in advance.

Measure your steering stems. If they are different lengths, you'll probably want to reuse your kdx stem so it matches the frame.

You can not use that KX stem.

If you use the KDX stem in that KX clamp, you will have to have it knurled.

You will also need to get some shim material for the inside of the KX top clamp.

OK thanks Jason i really appreciate the help. I was wondering if they were different diamaters. I guess i will be sending it off to RB to have the stem knurled. I appreciate the help guys, and i can not wait to ride it after i get it done.
