KX Rear Shock

Well, after thinking I did a wonderful job getting my KX back to running for the summer, I blow the rear suspension.
I have a buddy with a 1989 KX125 junk bike, but with a good rear shock. Would anybody know if that would fit on a '90 KX500? They look exacly the same as do 85% of the parts. <- which I have borrowed
from before..

I think that 500 shockers are set up differently cos on average, 500 riders have eaten more pies
You could check part numbers on buykawasaki.com to find out

I'm pretty sure that all the rears are the same. I know a 250 fits a 500 and I would assume Kaw would not make a bunch of different shocks for their bikes. They definately could be setup differently internally. If they look the same just try it.

Internally they are compatible; HOWEVER! They have entirely DIFFERENT valving. You need to have your stocker rebuilt and re-valved.

Well, I'd like to ride this coming weekend. So, until I find another one or get mine rebuilt (prefer another one), I just installed it. It fits fine. It's better than riding with a blown shock.
Thanks guys.
