Help with marzocchi 45mm

[Moto7man]

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.

Can you tell me what was done to yours? I would like to copy to mine

I rode the bike today after putting the 7.5w oil at 130mm. I was happy with how it handled the big obstacles, but the road rib vibrations were too aggressive in my hands.

I just wanted my forks to work well, it doesn't have to be a specific setup for me. But they are very bad on the roads

If you want it to perform well then it must be setup for you. That's the whole point of different spring rates, weight of fork oil, and different valving being available.

Yes,that is correct.

Is it possible to get a good adjustment on this suspension? I'm disappointed. she's new and I don't like her. even motocross bikes with suspension for heavier riders are better than my bike on the trail

Try softer grips.

I suffer a lot less from wrist pain and calusses now that I ride with very soft grips (full waffle). Mind you, it's not for everybody since its a different feel of the handlebar, but you can get them really cheap without further venturing into the suspension set up.

The con: I change them every 10h or so, they tend to gain holes or desintegrate due to the friccion with the gloves.

If you reduce preload on the spring you will soften the initial part of the stroke and it should help address your problem.
