2006 YZ 450 forks that interchange

[Brandon Mallon]

Hey guys new to this forum, I have a 2006 YZ 450 that has bent lower fork tubes from having a Timbersled kit on it last year. I bought a new 450FX this season and need to sell the 06. Does anyone know if any other year forks will work on a 2006?

If you download the kyb parts manual ( Google) you can see the part numbers for all the forks, I think most will fit to 17 but they vary in lenghts etc

Ok I'll check it out. I'm looking for a direct replacement just so I can grab a set on eBay and sell the bike

05 (AOSS) 06 and 07 are a direct swap, in 08 they went to the newer style lower and 32mm offset v/s 35mm. Also I think 09 on had 54mm upper clamping surface v/s 56mm on your model. Theses forks also vary in length by 5mm between the models. The later EFI WR450's will also fit direct swap.
