[QUOTE="glad2ride, post: 1351370, member: 62076"] Congratulations on the bike! 1991 - 1995 KX125 - KX250 and 1991 - 1996 KX500 tubes will fit into the 1991 - 1994 KDX250 clamps. However, to keep it a bolt on operation, the KX axle and front wheel ( and brake system, depending on year) will also need to be changed. The MX forks will be valved (tuned or set up) for MX, not trail riding. No matter which set of forks you go with, the correct spring rate for your weight is needed. On the KDX250, a switch to a modern stiffness fork spring will require the spring guides to be shaved or ground down a little, as was mentioned by Tom68. I haven't heard of any coil binding, but haven't ridden a set either. The 93 - 95 KX style springs will work. A small spacer is needed to take up the gap. Good luck with it, no matter which way you go. You may want to try changing out the fork oil, then consider the correct rate springs for your weight. Stock is .35 Kg/mm rate, which is considered very soft now. Check the [url]www.racetech.com[/url] site for a recommendation for your weight. [/QUOTE]
