Hi, new to forum here. I recently bought an '01 EC 200 with the WP forks/Ohlins shock. I am relocating to East Tennessee (knoxville) and just got back from a ride there. My suspension, esp. the forks is brutal! I took it to a respected mechanic who adjusted the rear sag, which made a HUGE difference but the forks are still harsh on these bumps and rocks, rocks rocks! He suggested replacing the fork oil b/c it's probably worn out. So I guess I might as well get a revalve and replace the seals, too??? So who do you guys recommend for this work? Anybody ride near E. TN? Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Who does your suspension?

I suspect that you are riding at Coal Creek just north of Knoxville?? The trails are awesome if you like gnarly rocky terrain. Do yourself a HUGE favor and contact Bruce Triplett @ Brucessuspension.com and ask about his terrain tamer setup!!!!!!!! Bruce knows those trails very well and can make the suspension work for that type terrain better than anyone you will find. The WP forks are magic with his setup. Bruce did my old 2001 GasGas front and rear and to this date I have not by far found a better setup for that type of terrain. My bike would glide over the rocks like a magic carpet. Unfortunately the setup will not work for the Marzocchi's. Keep in mind there is always a trade off. With this setup it can work well in whooped out terrain but you will need to take a few hours to dial it in for those whooped out Florida rides. Good Luck
