  WR 426f Forks on a DT

  @Glynn123 said in WR 426f Forks on a DT: Hi, I've just grabbed myself a real cheap set of WR 426f forks and front brake setup, still need to get triple clamps for it but looking to attempt to get it working on my DT. My DT currently has a wr200 front alloy wheel and I have an oversize disc which im 99% sure is the same size as the WR 426 front brake takes. My main problem, I have tackled many problems on bikes and could do anything engine related on the DT, but ive never tackled a fork swap, so im a little stumped on what im going to have to do. I have an old lathe and many other manufacturing tools, so I can make spacers etc if necessary. Anyone ever attempted this swap? if so help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers! Glynn How did you get on with this? as i have just purchased some WR 426 F forks for mine

  A little bit off topic...but yes/no. It may do, but what you'll really notice is the spread of power across the rev range.

  Worth it if that shock is rebuildable otherwise get a YSS one new as it's now so old it's probably worn out by now

  The suspension effect you get from forks comes from the air left inside the fork, after all you cannot compress a liquid. If you change to thicker oil and try filling it up a bit more you will effectively stiffen the forks. Just make sure you still have air in them, don't fill it right up cause then you won't have any suspension.

  Would not hurt to put fresh oil in and seals, make sure you clean all the gunk out of the fork legs, progressive fork springs would be significant improvement. If you are using new springs would keep same oil weight to start off, otherwise could be over the top. Ask spring suppliers for reccomended weight come to that

  @ryanjimccfc The shocks for all 3 bikes are 410mm in length and the YSS item is listed as being compatible for all 3 bikes, which means it should be a straight swap for the OEM unit. The YSS unit's also offer adjustable pre-load and compression too, just the same as the DT200/Lanza's units just without the external reservoir, so you are getting pretty much the same spec as a used 200 unit all in one package. Plus I think the YSS has a stiffer spring over the original shock? So all_in_all it's a simpler upgrade with less hassle of fitting and mounting the res. If you have the cash then I would go for a new and improved shock over an old used unit everytime. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/YSS-REAR-SHOCK-YAMAHA-DT-R-200-1989-2006-SHOCK-ABSORBER-331/183127097768?epid=24009232077&hash=item2aa339c1a8:g:ai4AAOSwRH5XKxXH https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/YSS-SHOCK-ABSORBER-ADJUSTABLE-REAR-MONO-For-Yamaha-DT-125-R/142012163491?epid=517329238&hash=item211095a5a3:g:2mcAAOSwnFZXUAUJ

  In terms of stiffness I can't say I felt much difference, it feels slightly higher with the R damper.
