Are these bike interchangeable with parts? It looks like the biggest difference is just the tire size. Any help here?

Z

What specifically are you wanting to interchange? Some parts yes, others no without modification.

Specifics...

not trying to jack your thread or anything bud, but this may be one of your questions too.

i know that the stock crf50 bars dont match up with the Z. but is it possible to take that whole top clamp off and it will line up with the stock forks?

FastMC

There's the difference right there. The Z forks are wider due to the wide wheels, so no,,, the top clamps arent interchangeable. You can swap out the whole fork assembly though,,, but then you must run the narrower CRF wheel.

Here's an example:

thanks for the help man!

the whole front suspension needs rebuilt. without having to run a smaller wheel upfront i can still use the springs and boots right?

Not quite sure what you're asking here but you can run +1 CRF50 HD springs and delrin bushings in your Z for a good upgrade. Z50 springs are about 10mm longer than CRF50 springs so the +1 (25mm) springs work nicely. Unless you're doing big jumps the milder version give a better ride.
