Marzocchi 48mm CC Forks

[singletracker]

I tried a wrench and channel locks, but the knob was going to get damaged if I cranked on it any harder. I don't have the proper sized socket for it, so I guess I need to buy a 24mm and try again later.

I'm hoping to break her in today, so I put it back together last night as-is.

the socket is 22mm

I took the handlebars off and used a 22 mm socket to turn it as others suggested. Mine came from the factory all of the way out. I turned it in one turn just to test it out, but I haven't experimented enough to give any real feedback. I'm just following up on my previous question.

Thanks

Can anyone tell me the outside diameter and length of the 48 CC fork springs? Will KYB springs from a YZ250 fit?

Riding time has been limited by weather and work, but finally got about 20hr on my '11 250 race with 48mm zokes. I'm very happy with them now; they were a bit stiff initially. Only thing I've done is ride, get some grease on the seals, and dump the stock outer chamber fluid and replace with 5wt Honda fluid. I didn't separate the forks, but let them drain / pumped them inverted and only got 250cc of fluid from the outer chamber(s), so that's what I put back in...although I've read that the spec is for more. You'll need a 49mm 8 point fork wrench for the caps, I got one from Motion Pro. I'm 160lb C speed, I've never ridden any forks I thought were better.

Saturday i changed the oil and made few more adjustments in my forks. The result is that, my suspension is much better for rocks and tight stuff now.
Oil 2,5W. 300 ml in outer chamber.
Preload 0mm.
C 13 to be more tested
R 12 to be more tested
PFP 0 to be more tested
im 67kg without equipment.

How about the rest of us that have the mz45 forks? Is there anything that can be done in order to get improved?
Well, I tried WP forks with progressive prings on a KTM '06. They were marvelous!
Can the 45 forks get just a bit better for rocky terain like the link bellow?

Please use the search function. Most of what I ride is more gnarly than that video and mine work great.

Is there anything special to consider when changing oil or is it like other cc ​​forks? And what oil is recommended?
Does anyone have an instruction or has obtained the user's manual for this fork?
