I think the 1993 Kx 125 (blue one's) are 43mm? Is this correct? I found a used set of 93 kx 125 forks. My question is, since they are 43mm, and the stock one's are 43mm, would the Kx forks just slide right up in the KDX triple clamps? And how much of an improvement would this be over stock?
Thanks

the Kx's will be stiffer and more tuned for jumping and not so much trail riding.

I have a KDX 93 w/USD blue forks and was wondering if anyone knew what year or triple clamps would fit it preferably like a billet set up

?

Just wanting to know if the 93 KX 125 forks will slide into the OEM triple clamp on a 96 KDX 200. Both are 43mm? Anyone know?

No way. The 43mm USD forks are much larger than this where the triple clamps are. The 43mm conventional forks are 43mm where they clamp.

So many people seem to misunderstand this. Like TimberPig said, the most important thing is where the clamps clamp. USD forks are clamped onto the outer tubes, which are much larger than 43mm to allow the 43mm inner tube to slide up into them.

bigboyeatburgers, Answer (Pro Taper) used to make an aftermarket billet clamp for the 1993 and 1994 KDX200. Keep a close eye on e-Bay. I have seen a couple on there over the years.

less flex but thats like tring to make a strainer carry water by putting scotch tape on it.

no I am not a wize crack, I have a 2000 220 and have had the oem forks re valved and sprung, they worked fine exept for big hits and the under hang slap down.

converted to 98 kx forks resprung for my weight the did some shim stack re arangement and they worked ok. then had the forks and the shock re valved by pro action, BAMMM!!! pure magic. 600 invested in suspension. well worth it.

"Looks good, but I don't know what benefit it provides."

It may be stiffer or stronger than stock, but one thing most clamp buyers like was answered by some guy named Oskar...

"Looks good..."
