i know the other pics arent kdx"s........but, thought yall like to them anyway.

oh yea.......i think the forks are 47-50mm......ill check tomorrow to make sure....i had 43mm in my head from my kdx....sorry.

46mm started in 96.... so yours may not be 91's.

i have no idea.......they guy i bought it from said it was a 91.....i cheaked the forks to see if they would work, and bought it for that reason...i was going it part the kx out, and couldnt do it to a nice running, looking bike. i swaped the kdx forks over to the kx, and going to set it up for my wife to ride{since i took the kdx back from her}

btw......if they are not 91s.....would they not have bolted right? im not asking to be an ass..... i was just wondering....all i did was unbolted the trees, and bolted them right up to my kdx.....{yes i took measuments}

They might just be 91 KX500 fork?

i think their 91 kx.........a buddy of mine has a 93 kx250..same forks, just the blue color on them...they also have compression and rebound settings.

this is why i dont like the stock kdx forks!

did a tree cross the road?

nah..........it was a truck.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess you ended up with 94/95 KX forks. I wouldn't have known it from my KDX experience, but I did a fork swap on my KLX300 a few years ago. On a KLX (which is as similar to a KDX as you can get) the 94/95 KX forks were highly prized because it was a direct swap which gave you full rebound/compression damping and so were much easier to tune than the limited KLX USD forks. One of the selling points was that with 94/95's you didn't need to do a stem swap or the spacer to go along with it - so cheaper and easier to get a serviceable front end. Also, your triples don't look as beefy as my 97's.

If that's the case - you should measure the lower tube at 43mm, not 46 or 48mm. I know the stem was a larger diameter on later models. Hey, don't worry - the 94/95 KX forks were way better than the stockers. Still a good move.

thanks....i know they sure do handle better! the only reason i swaped using these forks is, its what i could acces cheap.

you owe me an apology! if it was the same forks as the kdx, or the same technology, i would not have used them. they do bolt right up, and are a upgrade.

who is the dumbass now? ...........do me a favor, dont believe what you read on here about everthing. i have found out that on this site, some are internet smart......but not reality smart. in other words.....you had no clue what you were talking about, but you still made a comment, just because a certain person said they were the same forks as the kdx{wrong}, and this has been descussed to death.....{this is were the internet "smart" come in play}.......all said.....read the bottom of my sign...

How do you figure?

You have shown no evidence to the contrary... still 43mm tubes that give you the same flex... still have the underhang and has the same internals.

there not the same tubes.......how does it have the same internals..when the kx have compression and rebound, and the kdx dont? and the kx has bigger tubes? THEY ARE NOT THE SAME!!!!!!!!!!!!! no if and or butts about it?

If they are 91's like you state.. then yes they are.

their 91's.......and like i said, my buddy has a 93....and his has compression and rebound also......so i know on the kx 250 from 91-93 had the adjustment...

are you thinking about the KDX250 ????????? or did you read they were the same on the INTERNET?

Woke up cocky didn't ya!

91's are 43mm... if yours aren't they are not 91's.
Yours clearly show underhang....
I have not seen the bottom of your forks but I am pretty sure from my experience with 95 forks that there is no clickers under there... this is the only thing that I could be mistaken about but the burden of proof would be on you at this point...

kdx fork



kx fork



what is suppose to measure 43mm?? the tubes, or the shaft?

Know what a fork tube is? The shiny thing!

Just checked... you would have rebound settings... so your good there.
