have purchased a set of WP factory ktm suspension (conevalve, trax) for a 2014 350sxf with the 25mm front fork axle. As i am thinking of upgrading sooner rather then later to a 2015 350sxf it has the new 22mm front axle in which i will not be able to use 8k worth of factory suspensions that has just been delivered. does this mean if i keep the forks i will have to buy a wheel and axle from a 2014 sxf ? Could be an expensive upgrade ? If im right with this theory then beware of the small "costly" change over. will WP start selling factory forks with a 22mm front axle mount in them ?

thankyou

How can you complain about it being expensive when you bought the sxs suspension? Haha

If you're lucky you just have to change the spacers and possibly the wheel bearings. I bought an older (2012) set of a60 wheels for my 2014. I just needed to replace the spacers to newer ones.

Just swap out your spacers. I put my 14 Ohlins forks on my 15 250SX by doing that. Very easy :-)

couldn't you just keep the same wheel?
