I'm not and experimentation type of person. If I even could find the Marzocchi oil here in the US I just get that.

Any one else have a brand suggestion that worked for them?

So far KYB

Special swamp mix to get to 7.5wt

Using this chart

I went with the Maxima Racing Fork Fluid 125/150 as the specs are pretty close with the Marzocchi oil.

I'll be using Amsoil 5wt which is a similar viscosity to the KYB 01 that twowheels uses. Seems the main thing here is to pick an oil and then tune for it.

Motul has a 7,5w https://www.motul.com/es/en/products...ht-medium-7-5w

I use it on the 48's , great stuff

I am going to get into mine at some stage as I reckon the internal cartridge may not be bled correctly as I have a clunk which was not there before the forks were done.
Happy with the overall action but the clunk is annoying and when it occurs it feels like the fork is bottoming although the final inch of the shaft is not being used. Seems to me like I am not getting the full range and from re reading glenn's and others articles on GGforum it could be that the internal was bled like a KYB or Showa???
We will see.

I will also be getting the shock oil changed and whilst there see if I need a heavier spring and better valving as the rear end kicks up quite a bit no matter what I do.

You need a measuring jug and a fine measurement vessel like a cheap mm rain guage from a hardware store or a 500 mm measuring tube of the net for fifteen bucks.

Then you need a cartridge holder, 2 by 4 ( forbeetwo in oz) pine, drill a 1"1/4 hole and cut down the middle. Done.

So what is the Octagonal socket? First time opening shocks at all and other knowing what a YZ is I have no idea what tool your referring too.

Also the Fork cap I think you mean this, but is that the right size again I have no clue

All I did was loosen the cap on mine so far, it came right off with a good adjustable plumbing wrench. A little worried on this octagonal socket deal you mention. But i think that is for taking the cartridge apart, am I correct? Again what size is that...I see plenty on Amazon but don't know what size to get.
