Will 07 kx 450 top and bottom w/stem tripple clamps work on my 06 kxf 250 frame?  :roll:

First, you need to look up the bearings for both bikes. If they are the same, you might be ok...... But, there may be some tweaks needed. Here is a link to what I did that may give you some ideas.

go to kawasaki.com/owners info/parts diagrams for some clue.wasnt the 06 a steel frame?


I was going to add a live link to your post but Kawasaki no longer has that link.  They have updated their site and it has changed, I did not spend much time but could not find the parts look up.  Here's where I buy my Honda parts and look up other parts.  It's a division of Service Honda.

And lo, I did loft the front wheel and carried it forth to the unbelievers, and cast it down before them and said unto them ''look now upon the might of my throttle control ye pitiful cretinous ones''
And the unbelievers did quake in their boots....

the 06 250f is an AF... I'm making a 500 AF. I'm using forks off an 09 KX 250 but i think the 450 forks were bigger in diamater... I'm not sure though...

they will not mix and match, they will work, but you will have to use the triples for the forks, the 250f are Showa and the 450 are KYB

Charlie,

Just reread your post, I made an assumption that the forks were 250f forks, but your post says 09 kx250, we didn't have a kx250 past 07 in the states but there were kx250's sold in other countries past 07 and if you have one of these they may fit the triples but the 250f will not

Oh, yeah they are 250f forks... thanks for the attention to detail. :wink:
