Will a rear shock from a 2000 kx500 fit my 97 kx250?

You would have to measure the center of the upper and lower mounting bolt holes at normal extension.

I would say, yes, typically the 500 shocks were 2-3 years behind the 250. FPMXER is right you should measure the distance between the bolt holes to make sure

Doesn't the KX500 have the high pipe routing, causing the reservoir to point down, instead of up, like on low-boy pipe styles such as the 1997 KX250?
