Help with marzocchi 45mm
Goodnight I have a 2011 gasgas 300 with marzocchi shiver forks I've messed with them a lot, but whenever I ride the bike they make my hands sore I tweaked the valves, softened the compression, stiffened the rebound, I'm using 7.5w oil and things have improved, but I'm still not liking the forks. I weigh 65 kg, I wanted to do the best I could, but without messing with the springs

Springs are ALWAYS the starting point for getting a suspension dialed in correctly. Without the correct springs I highly doubt you'll ever get it where you're happy with it.

With mine it was my arms and elbows in particular that took a beating on the rough stuff. I was getting worried that I really wasn't able to ride those sort of rides anymore.
A set of YZ250 SSS forks fixed that. Although you will need softer springs and a revalve they are sophisticated enough to bring you joy. We just did a mates 2010 and he was impressed. Revalved zokes didn't get me near, although did help with tree root deflection. SSS are better everywhere. Search for conversion threads. Or upgrade to a later GG with the KYB SSS forks fitted std.

I understand perfectly, but I'm not willing to spend a lot on these forks, so I think it's more feasible to buy another one that's more up-to-date. I just wish they would stop hitting my hands so much, even on small irregularities.

You Might Not Want to Hear This
I bought my 2011 EC 300 new and I sent my forks to Drew Smith at Works Enduro Rider. He revalved and resprung them and installed SKF seals. They are smooth and progressive and I have have never had a problem with them. I am still riding it with the same setup now.
