Last year I got a smoking deal on a 23 KTM 450 SXF. The suspension has been okay until I started racing and pushing it. My plan is to get the suspension done. With the expense of fork mods, I would rather buy a set and have them done so that I don't have to gift all of that money to the next owner. I am always seeing that the forks for sale fit up to 22 models. What make those forks not fit the 23?
The forks fit up to present models…
Thanks, I talked to a suspension shop and was told 19 and up with no issues. Supposedly, the Husky forks will need a part that allows the extra 10mm of length but price on that part/mod is cheap.
Shock will not work w/o changing clevis
if you get the conversion your suspension guy hates you
The Shop
For my '24 300SX I installed a '17 YZ250F front end from a basket case, $500! Got lucky, it already had FC re-valve. Only had to shim the KTM bottom triple and run the fork cap flush. One word for breaking bumps... butta'. Lots of bite in flat hard turns.
Word is that the KYB lowers slide right into the WP uppers. Some guy on here sells a cheap part for that, ez pz.
