    Hello Suzuki 250

    You commented that the Suzuki stantions are a smaller diameter than 35mm , could you tell me what that diameter is please ?

    As I mentioned, I have one measuring 34.8mm , and the other 34.95mm, is one the correct size , or are both wrong ? 

    Thanks 

    I'll measure mine tomorrow and let you know tomorrow

    Impressive. Are you saying that motorbike fork tubes are manufactured to that degree of accuracy on diameter?

    I’ve never ground fork stations, but they would have to be accurate to avoid issues with fit tolerances in the slider bushes

    There is variability in tube diameter when tubes are made new and when they are re-chromed. The process of finishing them (centreless grinding) is not a precision process, nor does it need to be.

    Not where I worked, we worked to microns (+/- 0.002mm)!

    Thanks,

    I was thinking that today- nothing to lose in stripping 1 fork leg down on each set and doing some measuring.

    Measured the O.D. of the Suzuki stantions today - 1 is 34.95mm , the other 34.8mm ( same readings in multiple places, not just measured in one place)  

    So maybe the forks have already had some work ?, which is not surprising for its age

    The Suzuki ones are all smaller in Diameter

    Oh just the engine has ? 

     

    I thougt it should have a frame from that era too, likewise other parts should be (not must be) in general match with the era the bike comes from if still possible? 

     

    Interesting topic... 

    Don’t say that, you will start the rivet counters off…:rotfl:

    I think i read somewhere of someone putting rev3 yokes into a techno, but don't quote me. Obviously yokes from an upside down fork rev3 won't fit. I think most yokes will be compatible with the headstock so long as the fork diameter is the same. Im not that clued up on beta im afraid lol. I think you have 38mm paiolis
