Message: [QUOTE="MXP1MP, post: 843752, member: 20581"] hey I have the MXA issue that has the test of the 86 CR & KX in the same issue, that 86 KX had some neat stuff done to it that year. It was called the "works replica" big deal then cause the AMA production rule went into effect. I've tried scanning my mag's before but to be even read able the jpg's are like 300 megs!! When ya start trying to shrink them down the quality just go's with it and you can't read it anymore I know it can be done though. Look on kawasaki's website at the part diagrams, I'm sure it has the exploaded view of the fork internals. The TVC is like a small rod with a spring I can't remember exactly now been long time now :) To bad you couldn't retro fit the 86's shock on your kdx it had high and low speed compression which disappered a year later. Kinda funny how it showed up ten years later as a "new" concept. I doubt it will fit it had a whole new linkage that year doing away with the famous uni-trak arm. The other big thing in 87 was to add the cartridge setup that was offered later in the year from kawie as an opitional part for $300. Sudco also used to offer similar setup, kinda like the race tech cartridge fork emulators. 86 & 87's ATAC chambers are totally different the 87's was alot better because it was more like a power valve now part of the cylinder not just bolted on. wow you guys are really making me think trying to remember this stuff.
