Can i do a clean Fork/rear shock swap from a 2009 SM610 to a 2011 TXC449? I've been using the 610 for light adventure riding and would like to tear it up with 17" on the TXC. For fun , no racing .
Your going to have to measure the diameter of the front forks to see if they will fit (im pretty sure the TE/TXC/TC are 48mm and the SMR is 50mm) as for the rear I have no idea. It would be alot easier to just buy some warp 9 wheels and a bracket for your front brake.
correct all SMR forks are 50mm Marzocchi, and the 449 has KYB 48mm forks. However you can swap over the triples and they will fit. The rear shocks also should swap. I'm running a Ohlins rear shock from an 09 450 (older chassis) on my 2012 511 with no issues. it has been shortened 0.5" to match the front. The SMR forks a 1" shorter than the TC/TXC/TE KYBs.
