Title: Kymco kr125/k pipe
Post by: Kymcokrking on June 05, 2017, 04:58:00 PM
Just bought a kymco kr125 sport 2010/quannon and the forks are bent I can't find any for sale in the uk and I found one pair from America but there 200 pound and 120 pound postage and worth more than I payed for the bike I have seen kymco k pipe forks near me for £50 i was wondering if they would fit? Or if someone can point me in the direction to get some that will fit 😁

Unless Really bad, make an attempt to straighten them !

Remove the tube from the triple trees, set it on wooden blocks, roll it to the high point, smack it with a large basher while shielding it with another block of wood. Roll it and check for discrepancy...

It would be fairly easy to bust the aluminum fork sliders off, so do NOT support it on them !

The steel tubes are somewhat malleable, so I would spread out the impact a bit to avoid denting the tube.
It might be worthwhile to make a corresponding circular notch in the block used to cushion the blow.
