XR250 has 41mm Kayaba forks, XR400 has 43mm Showa forks, and KDX 200 has 43mm Kayaba? forks.

So while I don't actually know the answer to your questions I would say you cannot use the KDX springs in an XR250. But, you might be able to use the XR400 springs in the KDX.

I bet if you ask Jer in the suspension forum he'll know.

Sheesh I've had to edit this post three times and I'm still not sure I said what I meant. :confused:

Oh brother. My reading comprension is at an all time low. Guess I'll have to take that Evelyn Woodhead sped redin refresher course. :) I see from your original post that you already knew that the XR400 sproings will work in a KDX. :confused:

Even though I can't read too good, I still don't think the KDX schpringens are gonna fit down the hole of the XR250 forks. I'm going back to bed.
