Marzocchi 48 questions
Ok so I recently tot done my forks to put new springs in. What I found was very low oil level from the factory 200cc per side. My question is while I was cleaning everything up I kept getting oil out of the bleed holes on the cartridges. So are my cartridges low on oil now? I would like to open them up and replace the oil anyway but I need the special tool, right? Where can I get it? What about the pfp spring is it preloaded to the point things could get wild when I open up the cartridge? What oil level do you guys suggest? I am still running stock valving.

* the oil transfers between the inner and outer chambers, so if the seals are still intact the fluid has just moved internally * you need the outer 49mm wrench and inner socket (a modified KYB tool with clearance for the PFP knob) * there will be some preload released, but unless you've got your teeth directly over the cap there is nothing to worry about * without knowing about your weight/skill/terrain, start with 210cc inner and 310cc outer chamber oil

Ok. I am 250lbd with gear and I went with some of the progressive springs from Richard Wilson. 45-50 rate. I went with 320 in the outer but didn't mess with the cartridge at all. Thank you

When you refilled your outer legs to 320cc but didn't drain and re-fill the closed chamber, your total volume is now 650cc instead of the ~530cc it should be.

I basically wrote the same thing in this thread
http://www.gasgasrider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=19506 Can't tell from the pic if the Motionpro one is recessed. You need to have a cap tool which allows the PFP adjuster to sit into the tool enough that the outer edge of the tool can positively enagage the cap. I used a DRC branded one which works, but you still need to take care. RT not a chance. From memory Steve machined out an RT. |

I have the MP tool above and just used a die grinder to make it fit.
