New forks/shocks

Knowing the front suspension is inadequate, along with the fact I can't stand the dust covers:

Can anyone recommend a good performing front forks/suspension that would fit a newer KDX?

Freddette has front fork for 60$. www.frpoffroad.com

Instead of dust covers, you can buy a 95/96 Suzuki RM 125/250 front # plate. it has the fork guards attatched to it. its what I have on my bike, and it looks good. If you dont want to zip tie it ion, you can use some extra bolts to bolt it onto the triple clamps if you drill 2 holes in it. (I have done it both ways. both work excellent.)

Do you have a pic of your bike you could e-mail me? I would like to see what the Suzuki RM front # plate looks like. My e-mail address is nankevmaxdon@yahoo.com

SealSavers work well too but dont provide the protection of the ABS mentioned above. I run SealSavers and dont have any complaints

i just bought my springs from FRP but havent got to test them on my 01 yet because of the weather though . i put them on my 91 and they were a awesome upgrade , no more bottoming out and spungy ride .

Yep, the right springs made a big difference for me too. I went with Racetech and also added Goldvalves. If you want more stiffness, SRC also makes a fork brace to firm up the front end but you will have to cut the front fender and lose the fork boots and replace them with either Sealsavers or SRC Mudskins.

Your other option is to replace the entire front end with the USD forks and wheel from a KX125/250. Do a search in the forum and you'll find out all the info.

I'm spending way too much time on here. Somebody make the rain stop...

Best,
Greg
