Marzocchi 48 Service Parts (NA)

[twowheels]

As good as the Marzocchi's have been in performance the North American arm of the company has been abysmal in service. That is about to change.

In the process of scouring the globe for service parts I learned that a well-respected company in the US off-road world has just signed on to distribute service parts here in the States. More when they sort out how they intend to make those parts available, but for now that is very good news. We'll be stocking bushings, seals, o-rings etc as soon as they are available.

Regrettably I have had parts on back order for the 48"s since June 2012, from gasgas Spain.so I wouldn't get your hopes up.
Props to my dealer though,he offered to rob a new bike for the parts,but STS suspension was able to machine parts to work in the mean time.

Steve is to be commended for his efforts, and I know he has been trying hard. I really hope it does work out but I have my doubts. I'm in the "hope for the best but plan for the worst" camp on this. Like I said before we need some custom hardware to use easily available consumables.

Otherwise, there will be a lot of 48mm forks dead in the water when its eventually time for cartridge seals or PFP seals.

What size is the little air bleed screw on the top of the Marzocchi 48's.

Was this ever finalized?

Marzocchi doesn't list a u.s. importer for enduro motorcycle parts/forks.

Common wear parts (seals/bushings) can be easily had for this fork as they use same as KYB fork.

Manual for the marzocchi 48 enduro fork can be found on the marzocchi website - direct link to it is here:

http://moto.marzocchi.com/System/12002/manual%2048.pdf

I will grab this manual and place it on our site here so that it is quickly available - the marzocchi website can be *very* slow.

For service of marzocchi, sachs and ohlins suspension in the United States - I highly recommend Les Tinius at LT-Racing in Port Orchard, WA - he has more experience with marzocchi/sachs than anyone else in the U.S. - website url is www.lt-racing.com

Hey mate not sure on the size/pitch but the air bleeders for jap bikes will fit so well it appears they are a common enough size.

Thanks everyone,
They are 4mm by the way.
Now to try and remove the old ringed one?
