Yes and Yes. They do need heavier springs and you'll go from 4.5 to 8 inches of travel.

 

They have 8 inches of travel? lol I thought it was only 6? I have a 110L and I was planning on keeping the stock forks because they have like 5.2 or something. Now I'm not so sure.

 

I had 60 forks on my 110, added 1 1/2" PVC spacers and 15wt. Oil and they were dialed

 

Even tho yall are talking about forks, but I was wondering if anyone knew a website that sells stiffer rear shocks for a 99 kx60 or any mods i can do that my son was/is going to use as a pitbike or miniMoto bike thnx

 

How much better are kx60 forks compared to stock klx 110 forks? How much more travel? And how much more lift? Do you need longer cables for brakes and throttle cause the forks are longer?

 

If you read the thread most of your questions would be answered.


My 60 forks are blown to hell and still perform better then stockers

 

Can you run the stock klx 110 wheel with the 60 forks?

 

Yes

 

How much bigger of a rear shock will I need to level the bike?

 

I had kx60 forks slid up a bit into the clamps then dropped them back down with a tbr +2 and fox float

 

I had a +2 swinger w/ a racetech shock and that sat level but with the stock swinger it was a little higher in the front , to solve that problem just pull the forks up through the clamps a little bit

 

60 forks have 6" of travel.
65 forks have 8".
