Default Fork upgrade

i have a 2011 300 gasgas with the 45 mm zokes, i have had a lot of work done on them and have them working fairly decent but i rode a 300 race over the weekend with the 48 mm forks and they felt awesome.

im wondering what fork swaps have been done. im assuming the 48 mm zokes would be the easiest upgrade but the likelyhood of finding a used set of them laying around wouldnt be good.

have any of you guys upgraded to ktm or yamaka or honda setups??

A couple of threads on this subject, several members have converted to KYB with great success

Just do a search for 48 mm KYB SSS forks, A few of us have done it and are very happy. For the most part the Yamaha front end is a direct bolt on

KYB conversions are a must do.
Parts are super easy to get.

Default Conversion

My 2011 Gasser still have the zokes. Drew at Works Enduro Rider set them up for me using SKF seals. They are great, I love them. Here is a thread with some options but not sure what works for a gasser. I bought a set 96 RM 250 Showa conventional closed cartridge forks for my XR 250 project.
