KTM WP forks?
I have s set of ktm forks. I think they are from an '07 525. Whats the word on the WP forks? Do guys like them? Looks like I need to bore the tripples about 1mm to accept.
i worked on my cousins ktm shocks and they seem to be nice they have alot of comp,reb ajust its been awile but it seems the axel was alot closer to te center of the tube it may change wheel base ,his bike also had adjustable steering stem if you dont like'em lmk i have crf shocks i may swap if your interested
no wing no prayer

I did a little measuring.
'01 cr250 '01 yz250, '02 cr250 all have same fork tube o.d.
52.8mm @ top clamp
58.3mm @ bottom clamp
'97 cr500
52.8mm @ top clamp
58.8mm @ bottom clamp
'07 KTM 525
53.80 @ top clamp
59.90 @ bottom clamp
All bikes "eye balled" 35mm axle offset forward from center of tube.

I've had a lot of KTM's thru the years, 1st one was a 77 Penton 250MX, still have an 08 200. Don't know why anyone would prefer WP forks over about any honda fork. I wil say that the 08 WP's are better than the prior years.

I needed forks anyway and I liked the black KTM's.
I probably should have just anodized some cr250 showas.
I have one trip on the bike to glamis sand dunes. The forks felt fine to me.
Some of you other guys that ride more and in more technical stuff than I could give a more technical ride report.
This did give me the larger ktm front brake.
