cr125 2001 vs 2002 forks Help!

[MrkCottingham]

I just purchased a set of forks set up by race tech from a 2002 cr125. They won't fit my 01 cr125 as the brake caliper sits around 3/8" from the location it needs to be to bolt up, in other words the wheel is too far to the right if you were sitting on the bike. The forks fit fine except the lower axle pieces are made off center compared to the 01 forks. It appears that the spacer on the brake side that the axle passes through is too long for the 02 forks. Has anyone made this change with an 01 cr to an 02 cr forks and what is required to make it work if at all?

Thanks!
Mark

Maybe you need the 02 wheel spacers? :yikes:

 

[MrkCottingham]

That's what I was hoping someone could verify before the money was spent, has anyone done this change?

Mark,

Go at the Service Honda website and compare the parts number on the micro fiche. That should help you find exactly what changes were made from 2000 to 2001.

Thanks for the replies this far! I did go to the website and the center hub is about the only thing with the same part number. The forks are a different part number than the 01's. The parts all have the same prefix but the last half is different.

Thx
