rmz 250 forks on a rm250?

[Dirt Addict]

Can anyone tell me if the forks off a 2009 rmz250 f will fit a 2006 rm250 2t ?

Well they should both be 47 mm Showas so my GUESS is they would slip into the clamps / my question would be if the axle clamps have the same offset and diameters. Now if you're gonna run the entire front end / then just check the REAL overall length so your steering geometry from ride height is correct.

my 2009 rmz450 runs a wider axle vs my rm smoker.  the lug castings do look the same.

i had a sleeve made so i can run the smoker front wheel on the rmz

bigger end of the axle is the same diameter on both bikes

The clamp diameters might be different. Measure the top and bottom to make sure they're the same on both bikes.

The axles for sure are different sizes. The 2 strokes (125 and 250) have the same size axle and the 4strokes (250/450) share the same size axle.
