djp48 Started a new thread 2004 Kx125 Rear Shock Swap
11/25/2021 12:22am Going to be doing suspension overhaul and just exploring options. Trying to find the best way to get high low speed adjustment. Another member mentioned replacing the stock valve with one from Technical Touch which is a fine solution. Do you all know if there is a shock with high low speed adjustment that is mostly a direct replacement. How...

11/15/2021 7:07pm Thanks for the inspiration and the photos to back what I'm trying to accomplish. Every thing you said makes sense. Lucky you if thats all that has to be done to make it work. As long as the o.a.l. and compressed lengths match you should be good? Keep me posted on your findings.

11/15/2021 5:55am Thanks for taking the time. There is a lot of incomplete and misinformation out there.I am definitely taking everything into consideration. I feel I got a fair price on both the forks and the shock so I don't think I'm in to deep yet. Theres definitely a market for the forks. Figured it would be a challenge dealing with parts...

11/14/2021 11:43am I ordered an 05 rm125 rear shock. Looks the same as the rm shock used in a magazine build. Should have 18mm shaft and high low compression. Couldn't find any specs for the oal so we will see when I get it. Worse case scenario I'll resell it since there are only a couple options on ebay. Body is coated...

11/14/2021 6:52am High quality build you have there. Could you be so kind to measure the length of your rear shock center to center of the bolt holes? I'm investigating an 05+ rm shock conversion for my 04 kx 125.

11/14/2021 4:58am What years and is that for sure? A lot of this is me assuming and putting together little bits and pieces together from unconfirmed sources. I believe the first couple of years rmz shared the same shock as the last couple of years of the rm 05-07. At some point kawasaki and suzuki joined forces and the kxf/rmz where pretty...

11/13/2021 5:21pm So I have 2019 kx 450 forks coming. I think I have the front end parts sorted out. As far as the rear I have a few questions. Quite a few. A-kit kx shock assembly- Possibility if I can find one at reasonable price. A-kit kx body with oem kxf internals- Will the oem kxf internals transfer over to a...

11/13/2021 4:52pm Let the spending begin. 2019 kx 450 forks are on the way. With a lot of research and help from members on this sight I believe I have a game plan. It will be a while before I get parts gathered to make this happen but will try to update everyone interested on how the conversion goes.

I know it's too late but suspension would probably had been better investment than a Tom Morgan port/build motor and cosmetic issues. Especially being a new rider but should be a nice bike when you are done!

djp48 Started a new thread 2004 kx 125 Triple clamp/ Fork Swap
11/12/2021 11:04am I have a 2004 Kx 125 and I'm in the market for some wheels and a suspension overhaul/revalve. Before I decide which wheelset to go with I need some help sorting out the suspension details. What I am debating on is getting into the newer generation of fork body which involves swapping triple clamps. I understand the stop has to...

11/11/2021 9:05am Could you define chape? What forks you running on your kx in the photos?
djp48 Added a reply to 2004 kx 125 Triple clamp/ Fork Swap
11/11/2021 3:51am Does any one know if the fork length or lug offset changed for the 2019 + Kxf forks? How about the upper tube diameters? Just trying to figure out what may have changed as far as triple clamps go. Probably the same issue to address as far as the steering stop goes. I understand the bore for the lugs has...
djp48 Added a reply to 125 2 stroke oem vs hd clutch springs
11/9/2021 4:05am I think Falcon is dead on. If your a heavier guy, maybe a larger bore/ extrem mods creating more torque or your experiencing some sort of a holding issue with stock springs you may need to use heavier spring or experiment with a staggered setup. If your clutch is not slipping un-intentionally than the only thing you are really accomplishing...

11/9/2021 3:49am DJV804 had mentioned keeping with the same years fork and clamp. Thanks for confirming that. Looks like some years interchange but it also looks as if clamps very even from the 450 to 250 for different year. As far as I can tell you need to decide what fork your running, 250, 450 and year. Then make sure you are...

11/8/2021 8:36am Nice bike. Do you know what offset and name brand triple clamps? Where you able to just put your stock brake rotors on the 250f wheels and good to go? Is the pattern for the rear sprocket the same? Thanks
djp48 Added a reply to 125 2 stroke oem vs hd clutch springs
11/8/2021 5:48am Looks like that 450 perch and lever give some extra leverage. I have asv shorty levers, new cable, everything's lubed and use my middle and or index fingers. The pull isn't bad just in a self debate about whether the hd springs are necessary. I understand the clutch longevity if the stock springs wouldn't hold. I'm going to be back...
djp48 Added a reply to 125 2 stroke oem vs hd clutch springs
11/7/2021 3:44pm I bought the bike from a friend who has a few pounds on me and he never mentioned any issue. The reason I ask is I'm putting together a return order and was debating on sending the new oem springs back that I bought not realizing the clutch plates I bought came with springs. What's the purpose of hd springs...
djp48 Started a new thread 125 2 stroke oem vs hd clutch springs
11/7/2021 2:28pm 2004 kx 125. V-force reeds, Athena 125cc cylinder and head, pc pipe/ silencer, keihin air stryker 38mm. The bike runs pretty good. I installed an ebc clutch plate set with HD springs. All part of a kit. The clutch pull isn't to bad, but lighter would be better. Do you all think hd springs are necessary? What do you prefer?
