Just like the title says. I have a 2006 YZ 250 2-stroke and I'm looking for new clamps and noticed some OEM sets off the newer YZ 250F and 450F are going for good prices. Does anyone know if they are the same offset and whether a full set would mount right up on my bike?

The easiest way to find out is to cross reference the part Numbers, with that said, I installed a set of 2006 YZ250F forks on my 2002 YZ250. The 250F triples are the same as the YZ125 triples, and the 450F triples are the same as the YZ250 triples, The steering stem is shorter on the 125/250F, than the 250/450F

all modern yz250s 2006+ with sss have 25mm offset,

06-11 yz250f 25mm
12+ yz250f 22.5mm
06-09 yz450f 25mm
10-15 yz450f 22.5
16+ 25mm (might be 24 im not sure)


with a steering stem sway they do bolt on the yz250 (the newer 22.5mm) but you have the get the top clamp bored out a few mm, the newer yzf forks have a different top diameter.

I have a set of Pro Circuit clamps that I used on my 2006 YZ250 Two Stroke. Stock offset is 25mm and these are 22.5mm offset. It makes the YZ turn better and it's more stable. Complete with stem, bolts, 1 1/8" bar mounts etc. ready to bolt on.

I put 14 450 clamps on my 16 450 to get the 22mm clamps on it. It turns way better now.

Then I took my stock 16 top clamp to work. Put it on the cnc machine and circle milled the bores to the size of my 12 SSS forks. Now I have rubber mounted adjustable bars on my 05 YZ250.

in order todo the swap you use the yz250 stem on the newer clamps and bore out the top clamp 1-2 mm (cant remember exact amount)

I appreciate the offer, but that's a little high for how much I'm looking to spend—I can get some new OEM clamps for around $200 shipped. If you are interested in $300 shipped let me know.
