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.
