Can anyone tell me how to tell the difference between the 1985 and the 1987 CR250R front forks visually / externally? I know the '87's were the cartridge type, but any way to tell them apart without disassembly? Thanks. :?

Cartridge forks for the 250 started in 86. Easy to tell between the two...

Pop off the fork cap. If you see a rod attached to the cap its a cartridge fork.
