KDX250 Front End On KDX200 E?

Post by KDXFZRRD »

Anybody know if the triple clamps from a KDX250 are a direct bolt on for the E model 200s? Thanks.

What makes you say that? Sure looks like it should bolt straight up.

Verified bearings are the same, now it just comes down to stem length.

I am somewhat skeptical of your friend's finding and would really would want to know specifically what doesn't fit. Every other bike Kawasaki built in that era with that steering bearing setup bolt up to each other.

Is your friend's bike, by chance an SR series?
