WP 48mm fork on my XT660R
Hello
I have searched but almost not found how to get a better suspension in front on my XTR. A perfect example not so old coming from ramarvarna and this YZ fork on his XTZ so perhaps more will see it,s not so big problem to get better suspension in front as it seems. It,s little bit to early to write this thread because I got over another WP fork but this is how it,s now. I got over a front fork from a KTM660smc with orig brake and 320mm disc. This brake are to big for what I,am gonna use the bike for therefore I looked after another solution. I,am waiting for a black KTM690 Enduro R 2012 fork with black clamps and I will fit it with my orig brake and a 300mm disc. I looked and measure the orig clamps with does from KTM690 Enduro. Seems very the same only the stem has to be modified. A mechanic checked over the stem and we decided on 3 places on the stem gonna show you more specified when I got the picture. The orig travel on the XTR fork are 225 mm and the KTM Enduro has 250mm, I,am gonna rise the bike in the back as well. The KTM 690 Enduro clamps are very pleased to use and modify XTR orig stem, only had to pay 50euro to got it modified the stem. What about other KTM clamps sorry I don,t know but the KTM 690 stem has a bottom screw I let the mechanic fix to be fitted on the XTR stem no problem at all and it will secure the stem for sure. I don,t know if this fork/stem/clamps will fit XTX because XTR and XTX don,t use the same stem or bearings numbers, what,s the different,s between them is should fit or does they don,t have the same frame? What is perfect with this front fork from KTM660 if it,s fit XTX is you only got to get a 17" supermoto front wheel from a KTM and it,s axle, put a hose on the brake and it,s rock,n roll. But if you wanna fit it on a 21" you have to modify the brake so it won,t hit the spokes, same modify if you got a Supermoto KTM with the big brake and want to put a 21" wheel. Will get back when I got my black forks and clamps.

Can,t do so much until I get my black WP. About the steering stops it works but got to put some rubber on them to not damage the color on the frame!

Tjohooo my suspension is shipped from Germany and hope it will come soon thinking about 1-2 weeks. I,am trying to sell the other fork with clamps but many XTR owners in Sweden seems like their complete rubbish suspension in front. Trying to look after information if the fork does fit also XTX even if the have other steering bearings number but why do Yamaha use other bearings in almost same frame as XTR?
I have talked to a guy who make brake discs and he,s gonna fix a 300mm disc for me because the orig disc from KTM is to expensive and wouldn,t like a smaller disc like enduro disc. Also checked how to the adapter will be set to fit the orig brake to the KTM fork. |

The brake caliper is home at my KTM shop but had to work on the other side of the country but will bring it home on friday but have some other things to do before! 300mm EBC disc is shipped from germany yesterday! )))
I also won a auction for twin stock mufflers from a KTM 625SMC so will fit them because OTR muffler is to big. |
