Marzocchi Shiver 45 help?

[motopsycho87]

Firstly, is there an easy way to get at the gubbins to revalve these forks, or is it full disassembly? Is there a guide anywhere to do this? I'm quite a confident mechanic but this is something I've never touched before.

Ok, long story short.

Tried thick oil, tried thin oil, tried 4.5 4.8 5.0 springs, mixtures of each with varying preload 0 to 10mm. Fitted new bushes, turned clickers to the extremes, torqued the lower triple clamp bolts to 5Nm, had Dr Shox revalve / service etc...

I cannot make these forks feel the way I want them to feel. They have always felt harsh over square edged bumps (too much high speed compression... Maybe) and too soft when riding fast through loamy shit, the forks like to jack knife (too little low speed compression... Maybe)...

So is there a way i can get into the guts of these without completely disassembling the fork, can I just undo the bottom bolt with the compression adjuster and hallelujah? Dr Shox did a mod so I have some actual control about the rebound settings, but the compression still feels way off...
