[QUOTE="idl1975, post: 1413470, member: 95230"] KX125 H2 or J1. Irritatingly, it's taken me so long to fix other crap that the e-bay auction has expired and I don't recall what they were sold as. Not sure how reliable that would have been, given they were sold as KX250 but have "X125" stamped on the fork bottoms, which to me says KX125. I've read about other people who've re-used the KDX yokes, so I assumed they would fit. If not, I'm going to feel mislead by the internets. (e: as you say, even if I can't reuse them, consensus appears to be the KDX items are so horribly damped, especially if you're going to jump the bike, that it's not worth spending money tweaking them.) The KX USDs and the KDX USDs look like they use the same Kayaba 43mm housings (the bit that isn't the slider), so hopefully it's not an issue. My understanding was that some people prefer the KX lower clamp because the later KXs ran double fork-clamp bolts on the lower. But the current forks have survived jumps with single clamps, so I think it'll be fine as long as I break out the torque wrench and remember the loctite! If I have to get some KX clamps, it's not a big issue. There are about 10 of them on e-bay at any one time. I just want to avoid the PITA of pressing stems in and out TBH. As to the offset, I've got a KX wheel, axle and spacers, so it should be a straight swap. It means I lose the speedo drive, but I have a Veypor that came with my TY250, so I'll put that on if I feel the need. Although the clocks are handy when green laning (trail riding), I foresee no circumstances where I'd rather ride the KDX than my Hornet for pure road-riding. :) [/QUOTE]
