    I'd guess that the RE uses the same forks as the R but might be totally wrong

    My TDR forks are also Paoli (sp?) and a total pain to get anything for other than seals which are still available from pattern suppliers

    If you can get one out complete you could always have an engineer make some for you from scratch.

    Dont forget that 230 Lanza forks would be a good swap into a 125 if in trail mode 😉

      Have found a supplier and ordered pattern bushes. They are due tomorrow so will compare and share if they are good. Still no word from Yamaha though.

        Bushes arrived, perfect fit and no vertical movement on stanchion (the old ones had a little play/worn) . Ordered from Brooks Suspension, 41.7 x 20 x 1mm, part code SBS-009.
        Assembling forks this evening at last.
        Will post update when tested.20200703_112805_copy_576x1024.jpg

                Nice findings!

                Could you also measure the other bushing for me? Just in case 🙂

                  The other bushes are readily available via eBay, Fowler's, csmnl, etc

                      If you can get them out and measure them give brooks suspension a call or check their website, list range of bushes by size. I called them and they were very helpful

                        Finally took out the bike with the new bushes fitted, all good now, no knocking on compression stroke, well worth doing even if it was a faff getting the bushes. Still no reply from Yamaha though.

                            Do I chase them though, would like info re key for dtmx helmet lock. Sold the dt250mx last week and have another bike up for sale, looking at buying 250 4t dual sport, was thinking of klx250 maybe? No longer sold here but was even thinking of buying new! Here's a pic of the Meon Valley last night, followed an e type Jag down the A272 from Petersfield to Loomies, smoked as much as my bike!![0_1594661545514_IMG_20200712_201726407_HDR_copy_1024x768.jpg](Uploading 100%)

                                @oldman KLX meant to be quite flat power wise if thats an issue

                                Personally I'd get a KDX200 if it had to be Kawasaki

                                  @oldman Yeah sorry, I had to disable photo uploads. I didn't realise the limit for uploads was up to 20MB.

                                  I CANNOT HOST THAT. I don't have a business line and it would utterly murder my internet connection.

                                  Just upload to imgur and copy the links across.

                                  It's very simple, just get Imgur on your mobile, upload to that using your mobile, then once that's done, you click on the image you're intereted in, and click on share. It will produce a URL that you link in here.

                                      Shame about 250mx, wouldn’t mind one of those in the future. Saw one for the first time literally outside my house not to long whilst I was rebuilding my RM80, guy said he collected Yamahas and was visiting his family. Beautiful bikes, nicely sized and proper retro vibes

                                        Yes thats why I bought my DT200WR 😉

                                        Had one years ago regretted selling it ever since so had to get another one.
