trakkerman, I had a 95 300exc that I got brand new. That is a great bike. They came with a 45mm Marzochi conventional fork. The fork needs to be revalved though, there is a problem with oil return. The oil gets aerated when being pumped to oil reservoir inside fork, eventually the oil gets foamy and the front end will start to tap out (only towards the end of long hard ride), also the front end feels a lil spikie (especially in hard rocky terrain). I have a local suspension shop here in N. Calif that set mine up great. They revalved it and used a 5w rock oil(at a different level than stock) and man it felt like a new bike and it only cost me about $150 with new fork seals. Its amazing how much faster you can ride with proper set up. The fork is split; one side handles rebound and the other side handles compression. The shop set the rebound and I would just adjust compression acording to conditions. Its nice because there is a dial on top of the fork and it is easy to adjust anytime anywhere and with only one adjuster you don't have to worry about having the forks in sync. The Olihns rear shock works good also. The bike was very good to me, never left me stranded and had power like a 500 and reved like a 250. What ever you do run the stock pipe or a Doma, they work the best.
Good Luck, WT 99 250
