I bought 2 beater KX 80's. Both are 1989. One is a former race bike and has non stock Kayaba forks. These forks are silver with pink Kayaba stickers which run vertically. They do not have schrader valves on top(just a brass screw) or oil drain holes at the bottom. There are no spacers at the top of the fork only a single washer/spring centering device and there is some type of valve assem. below the spring which fell out on one leg when I dumped the muddy oil out.
Second question. Which forks: stock 89 or the other set will perform better for play riding with my 140lb wife behind the bars?
