Title: '88 KX500 frame & swing arm.
Post by: Natroy on July 10, 2016, 09:45:43 pm

I have an '88 KX500 frame and swing arm. No good for my '89. $100.

88 frame differs from the 89?  Thanks Peter

Frame:
Shock mounting width (narrower on 88).
8mm bolts on top subframe mount (88) vs 10mm on 89.
I think the linkage mounts are narrower on an 89 vs an 88.

Swingarm:
88 has slightly different drop outs for the rear axle.
88 has a mounting tab for the plastic rear caliper protector (89 is mounted to the caliper).
Again, I'm pretty sure the 88 linkage is wider where it mounts.

Basically, if you have an 88 main frame, then you need matching 88 subframe, swing arm, linkage and shock.

LOL!   certainly are different then!  Its interestring as the mags always say that the 88 to 04 are "the same", apart from forks...
