Kayaba twin chambers??
I am thinking of fitting some of the lattest generation Kayaba SSS forks to my 2010 250, I know the factory guys in EWC are running these forks and that a number of championship guys in the UK are also running them. I know they fit quite easy and only need a new wheel spacer, but has anybody tried them? Does any body have any base settings oil wt, spring rate, shim stack etc. How much better than the Sach units will they be???

I think it would be easier to put TTX inserts into the Sachs forks instead of buying and setting up KYBs. Are the fork lowers/brake mounts the same on a YZ fork as the GG?

I don't know the answer to any of the questions, but I know a guy with an '09 YZ 250 which I think has those forks. If that bike were mine I don't think it would get a revalve because the suspension on that bike is unreal. Front and rear.
I'd say they are good units, and if they are from a YZ, they have good settings.

The caliper mount is the same and they will also fit straight in the triple clamps, the only mod would be a wheel spacer which would be quite easy.

Squeeze the trigger! Then give us a report. I don't see how you could go wrong.

If that is the case, I would be interested in this mod as well. YZ forks are easy to find as someone is always parting out a blown up 250F.

A straight fit in what triple clamps? The GG Zoke triple clamps are 57mm lower, 54mm upper. As far a I know nothing fits, even a Husky or Cannondale Marzocchi which have thicker walls on the uppers. Guys have bored triple clamps to fit Showas but I don't think thats such a good idea considering the thickness of the clamp.
What I would like to know is what other triple clamp(s) with a 22mm offset (to retain steering characteristics) work on the GG frame, preferably with the GG wheel as I have a couple now. I don't mind doing a custom stem, axel, and spacers. |

I have a 2010 EC300 in stock with Sachs forks and a bunch of Huskys with 48mm KYBs. I will try a fork swap sometime this week and see what the differences are and report back.

Scott,
Now that might work, as the Sachs are said to be 59.3mm on the lower. Measure the Sachs and KYBs, a shim is easy if needed. |

no 1st hand info but a good buddy rode a near new yam and said the same thing. he said the forks 'were unbeliveable'.
