Anyone know if a top clamp from a 14-17 YZF will fit a current YZ? The top clamp I’m looking at is 25mm offset and I think that’s stock on a YZ correct?
The lower clamp goes right on.
I'm a machinist and have access to a CNC machine. So I took my top clamp off my 16 YZ450. Opened the bore up 2mm's and they slipped right on my 12 YZ250 forks. So now I have adjustable rubber mounted bars on the 2 stroke.
Then I put 14 model stock YZ450 clamps on my 16 which are 22mm offset which makes it turn better.

Sounds like based on the other replies that the top clamp would need to be bored out but I am wondering if I will run into issues with the stem length or anything else?
The two strokes have larger upper fork tube diameters than the four strokes by 2mm in diameter (bottom is the same).
So to summarize, the Xtrig clamps for a 450 will have the wrong stem length and too small of an upper clamp diameter for a 2013 YZ125. And the stem won't simply swap out for the stock one either and Xtrig uses an adjustable offset.
But if you would buy a short stem from xtrig's. And mill the upper clamp diameter of a yzf xtrig clamp they should fit on an yz 125?
