|
Hi 650 riders. I'm about to start A scary mod to my bike. Raking the steering neck to fit KX 125 forks. The kx tree fit my steering neck perfectly. I just installed a lower profile tire for the 21 in. wheel. The fork seals need replaced before I start raking the frame. I'm just not sure how to take them apart or how much for oil it takes. Any ideas would be great.

Im pretty confident that they would come apart like all the front ends I've
worked on over the years. There should be an allen headed bolt on the end
of each fork leg were the axle goes. As far as oil amount try a Kawasaki dealer
I would think they could tell you the correct type and amount, Good Luck!

Thanx mo650chopper. I'll give it a try. I can't wait to see it done. Those inverted forks are going to look awesome!

Take some pics and post them! I cruise Ebay periodicly
to look for a bargain on a unique front end. It should look awesome!
