EX250R stock fork height

Kangxi · February 23rd, 2012, 02:27 PM

Can anyone tell me the stock fork height for second gen bike? Have searched for that number and all I can find are the spec hieght for first gen bike, which apparently is 10mm of space between the top of the triple tree and the fork cap (That measurement is not from the service manual so don't quote me on it).

Can't find a service manual online so if anyone holding one could check and let me know I'd be most grateful.

thanks

Are you looking to put them back on the triples? Just slide them up until they bottom out in the risers. They only go up so far. It's not like with clipons where you have to keep track of how high the forks were when you take them off.

Hi Chone - Unfortunately it's not quite that straightforward in my case. This is a race bike that is using clipons. The forks were completely removed to be revalved and sprung. I have just received them back and am in process of reinstalling them so I'm looking for the stock height of the forks over the top triple. Now that you mention that the stock setup of the forks "can only go so far" I'm wondering if maybe there is no "stock height" that is described in the service manual.

Anyone have any thoughts on this or on front end geometry for EX250 race bikes?

On a stock bike, they only go up as far as the risers will allow. But people have dropped the front end so there's an inch or so above the triple without problems.

This thread might be of some help.
