    What years did the CR and WR 125-144 get the closed chamber forks? They got the new frame in 2010 right? Did the CR get the forks a year early? I have 2 YZ 125s I would sell to get a good CR 144 but want to know what years to look for.

    The CR has CC forks back to 09. In 09 they are Zoch's. I believe they are the KYB's after that. But you need to check to make sure for the '10s.

    The new frame came out in 2009, for 2010 they updated the top engine mount, foot peg area, and rotated the res. on the shock so it didn't hit the exhaust. As far as forks go...

    2009 CR/WR came with the closed chamber forks, the specs on the WR said it was supposed to have the open chambers and if I remember correctly a few bikes made it to the states with the open chambers but not many.

    2010 CR came with the closed chamber KYB's and the WR came with open chamber KYB's.

    Are the KYBs identical to the 48mm KYBs on the Yamaha and Honda bikes?

    Yeah, when I had the ones off my 2010 TC revalved my suspension guy said they were identical to the SSS stuff from the 2007 Yamaha's.

    I'm glad to hear that, I really like the forks on my 05 and 08 YZ125s. My 08 has been revalved and they are killer.
