Fork and shock identification

[mattholew]

How can i determine which shock and fork i have?

Year and model to narrow it down, or a pic is even better and we can tell you.

Thanks GMP. I was thinking there might be some tale tell signs.

The bike is a 2001 ec200.

I cant upload a picture from my ipad or i would. Let me see if i can figure out how.

The bike should have came with WP 43mm USD forks and an Ohlins shock.

From this picture of widebears 2003, it appears that i have the same fork and shock. My shock does not have any ohlins sticker or print on it at all. Forks are the same color.

Ohlins forks were an option and not too common. Ohlins shock was the only girl in town at the time. Do the forks look like KTM WP forks? They should. Measure the stanchions (lowers), they should be 43mm. Ohlins are 46mm.

the sticker on the ohlins wears off. should be gold body shock with most likely a yellow spring.

you have 43mm wp and ohlins shock. the 46mm ohlins forks are gold.

Thanks guys. I will measure the forks tonight.

I just looked at the photo of widebear's bike you posted, those are WP43 forks.

Fork ID

My 2000 EC 300 has 50mm conventional (WP extreme 50s ? ) anybody got any info on those??

KTMs had those in '98 and '99. I had one, IMO they worked better than the WP43s in the nasty stuff, but still needed work. Heavy though. I would suggest looking on KTMTalk for more info.

i ride with widebear quite often. he is known for putting together combos that gasgas never even thought of! that yellow 200 is either a 2003 mc250 or his 01 ec300,i can;t remember which?
