250-500cc Kayaba close chamber forks on a wr300?

I rode my biddies 250txc with the Closed Cartridge kayaba's awhile back and loved his front suspension. It was real nice felt really stable and just seemed to work whole lot better than my open cartridge. I ride mostly single track (rocks, roots, Logs, shape edges). I know I could send mine out and get good results but would I be better off to start with the C. C. forks?

Has anyone personal experiencce with the C.C. on the WR?

Thanks in Advance,

Jim

They would work good and would be easy to convert to.

Thanks for the input! I've been holding off pulling the trigger on them. Convert? Shouldn't they bolt right up from a 2014 250txc to my 2014 wr300?

Can't tell ya off the top of my head but just measure the top and bottom outers to yours.

Hmmm...2014 Wr300, don't they come out with the WP 4CS or is the WP CC's?

I am assuming you have a 2014 WR 300 Italian model.

Ya 2014 Italian Husky Wr 300

Ooops...apologies mate, pays to read or l need better glasses!!

In that case, in a heartbeat l would swap them over, in fact l would swap the whole front end!!

The only difference should be in the forks correct?

I couldn't tell ya TBH...if you have both bikes, pull one fork off and see if it fits?

yeah they should swap straight over both 48s, same caliper mounts, axles etc i believe. 2014 te's came with CC forks here in OZ when previous years up to & inc 13MY were OC. wr125=OC cr 125=CC. same bikes basically

Forks came in today. Look brand new not a scratch and ridiculously clean!







Looking forward to trying them out on Sunday!

I've ridden the bike twice now and I couldn't be happier. Immediately I could tell there was a difference.
Not drastic or anything, but a little more stable and compliant especially on the bigger rocks and log jumps.
Here's the first ride on the forks in the\ forest on some busy single track that is part of our regular 60 mile loop.

so now its time to complete the swap. did you get the italians forks swapped to the swede? looks like both bikes are getting a nice bonus!

Yes the italian's forks are now on the Swede.

it sounds like you have an auto clutch, or is it my imagination?

Yes I have the Rekluse exp 3.0.

A couple of questions for husky jim:
1. Where did you buy the CC forks?
2. What model are they from?
3. Are they non-modified oem; i.e., is the valving stock, or have the internals been modified?
3. How much?

Thanks!

I had 2010 cr125 kyb's that were revalved and sprung for me on my 2009 wr250. Everything fit perfect for the cr triple clamps to. I miss them , they worked good.
