That is a good looking bike.
The fronts are or should be Marzoochi magnums. I don't know much about them. I had the 45mm zooks on my 97' and changed them out to a set of 43mm WP off of a 2001 Gasser. From what I have read they where a great fork in there day, but are a bit dated know as far as the technology in them. There are some very knowledgable guys on this site, that will chime in on this soon. |

The forks look like the WP 50mm Extreme to me. There is not alot of experience with them here as they only came on a six days replica model that was a "special edition" for U.S. market. I think it was '99 or 2000 model year.
Contact the member "roostafish" - he used to own a gg ec250 six days replica with that same fork. I rode his bike and the fork worked well - so seems like you need service/adjustment or a revalve for your conditions and all will be well. Do a google search on "WP Extreme 50" to find more info. jeff

Look like the Magnums to me, WP extremes may be the same thing as I had a 99 Kato 250exc with the same forks. And by memory they had extreme stickers on them, but I'm sure they were Marzocchi's.
Anyway, they were great forks, a lot better than the 43mm usd forks on my 2000 kato

i use it for motocross
biggest problem right now is it sticks at the first couple of cm,s then they get really soft and bottom out and when you compress it it doesnt come back completly you have to pull it out seems like its sticking somewhere but cant seem to find out why |
