Default Replacing 45mm Marzocchi seals, fork service manual?

My fork seals just started leaking on my 08' EC250, in looking around the internet I could only find broken links to marzocchi service manuals.

Does anyone have access or know where I could find the service manual for these forks?

Also what fork seals have a good reputation? Should I just stick it out and go OEM or is there a good aftermarket alternative?

Interesting. Might have to pick one of those up for future preventative maintenance. Although this time around I'm going to go ahead and do the fork service as I bought it used and want to make sure bushings are good and reset the oil height.

I have been pretty impressed with the synergyseals (.com). They taks a bit to wear in, but for the first time ever i am finding that there is no (noticeable) air buildup in the forks when i remove the bleed screws

Everyone should get the Risk Racing Seal Doctor, it will eventually save a ride/race day for you. You may indeed need seals but there is a good chance that the problem could be fixed with this tool. My '07 leaked bad enough to leave a spot on the floor, and a few seconds with this tool fixed it. I use it to clean the wipers on my '12 48s after a muddy ride as well.

Thanks for the heads up on synergy seals. Going to pick up a set of their flex-seals and lower guide bushings if I don't find any better alternatives.

Definitely going to pick up the seal doctor too.

Another heads-up on the synergy flex seals is make sure you put up a warning sign because until you know how to install them there will be a lot of cursing going on in your garage! They should actually carry a PG rating for first timers!

Think there are some YouTube vids on them to help you through
