Top Clamp insdie diameter
« on: April 13, 2006, 01:04:59 AM »
Does any body have a top clamp from a 2000 or new kx250? I just need the inside diameter of the area where the fork slide through. Thanks.

I think the 250 changed to 46mm in 2004

Rockymountainatv/mx.com has top clamps for 2003 and newer kx250's for $99.99. This top clamp has adjusted forward and aft setting and you can get different bar risers mounts for only 30.00 ranging from 35mm to 55mm of height.

I hope this summer to order the newer upper clamp. I just got a set of 89 fornt forks for my 87. I need to clean those and install them and wrap up some other things this month and then start on the upper clamp. I post some pictures of the results during and after the mod.
