I am converting my 99 KDX220 to 96 KX125 front suspension. In doing so, it is necessary to use the KDX stem. I find that the KDX stem in the KX clamp is a snug fit but doesn't need a press to assemble. I think a thin piece of aluminum, like a soda can about a half or quarter wrap would do the trick, but I'm wondering and my question is: will the ring clip on the bottom and the bearing pressed on from the top be sufficiant? It's not like this is so loose it rattles, just loose enough to assemble without a press. With the ring clip, the pressed on bearing and the bolting action holding everything together, I'm thinking that shimming is not necessary. Any thoughts or suggestions. Thanks in advance.
