I "saw a friend" take his bars back off 3 times when he didn't have the cables right. LoL Yeah it was me the first time I put a bike together.

Update out of the blue . The kx85 front is better but still very soft . I found .50 springs for the front . And did a bbr spring in the back. Today I rode a track and was sending jumps and landing butter smooth . Definitely recommend that setup .

hey can you tell me what the diameter of that kx85 fork is at the top and bottom clamp area wondering if the tubes will fit in standard klx150bf triple clamp?

@herby541 Жыл бұрын

Hi does the full size 21inch wheel fit the kx 85 forks which the klx140 also comes out with thanks

Where did you purchase the fork kit from ? My son has a 2021 klx140-rl and is a little more aggressive than what the stock 140 forks can handle. I would love to swap this to his... please update us... nice job

Great job man!!!! So i have the KLX 140 R and I want the suspension performance works better do u think that can fit on there the setup of Kx 250 on the chassis KLX ?

@Knoluvv Жыл бұрын

I use Rocky Mountain mc oem section to compare stock parts . Allot of times they use the same parts for many models . Bring up the two models your working with and see if the parts are the same . That's what I did here .

Did you end up buying a KX100/85 front brake caliper assembly? Looks great, how did it perform?

@Knoluvv Жыл бұрын

I did . It was great . The front is soft I have some springs coming

@@Knoluvv I just rebuilt a set for my wife’s 140. Waiting on the triple clamp and I’ll put it together. Replaced the seals and new oil. She’s only 115lbs so the stock springs should be OK. I purchased a complete KX brake as well.

When I did mine. I compared the stock neck bearings to the kx85/100 The klx140 and 125 have the same neck bearings as the 85/100. I just looked looked up the 230. It had different part numbers . So i would say no . But I don’t know the why or the Details .
