New to me EC 200

[sammyj18]

Hey All,

I just picked myself up a 2003 EC 200 Dealers edition. Im new to dirt bikes and I'm really excited! It's in pretty good shape the most pressing thing that needs fixing is the front fork seals are leaking. The bike didn't come with a manual but I found one on the gas gas website. The thing is I have looked all over the forks and I can't find any brand markings. I can't tell if its a Marzocchi or WP fork. The forks are a light bluish grey in color if that helps at all. Also I live near chicago anyone know a good place where I can send the forks out to have them set up for my weight? Sorry if this is a goofy question, like I said its my first dirtbike after riding street for about 5 years.

Thanks,
Sam

The forks are 43mm WP (White Power).
If you're just looking to have them serviced, I'm sure there are places near you or do it yourself.
If you want them revalved/resprung, send them to LTR in WA.

Hey Thanks alot! The manual says to use 5 wt oil in the WP fork. I weigh 175 and that seems a little light. Anyone use anything thicker?

Thanks,
Sam

Factory connection did the front forks on my drz ... I weighed aobut 215 lbs geared up and the bike weighed at least 280 with all the guards and gassed up. They ran 5w in the forks
