I assuming early 90’s YZ250. But the dual compression adjuster is throwing me for a loop. Not a pre-load adjustment.IMG 0317 1.jpeg?VersionId=LYT6faH78k4razlUODIMG 0318 7.jpeg?VersionId=XYsfV2 bCdIMG 0331 3.jpeg?VersionId=42XvSmTVzduIMG 0334 3.jpeg?VersionId=o8LuhXgPZbK KtGjH.wg.IMG 0335 3

What ever had high/low speed compression and why I the comp adjuster on the top of the fork? They appear to be single chamber forks and were always on the bottom of the leg. Could these be from the infamous one year only WR 200? 1993 I think. The brake side lug looks funky too

The 1993 WR200 fork cap had no adjustment...

The fork lugs look like a Yamaha, their markings would identify the model.

The lugs look like early '90's KX style axle caps and the bolt pattern for that era fork slider protectors. My next guess will be '90- '93 KDX 250, I just don't remember the high and low speed compression adjustment. Just shots in the dark at this point.
