FRONT SUSPENSION

Assembling:

The washers (46) and the piston (45) are the ones causing the compression

braking. It is possible, if needed, to modify the fork’s behaviour during the

compression phase, by replacing the washers (46) and the piston (45) with

other components having different characteristics.

WARNING

Only use original Marzocchi washers and pistons, do not modify the

components.

• Replace the piston o- ring ( 44 ) if needed.

• Insert in the bottom valve the washer or the washers’ stack regulating the

compression ( 46 ), the piston ( 45 ), complete with the o- ring ( 44 ), the washer (

43 ) and the spring ( 33 ), following this order.

WARNING

The piston must be oriented in a way that the holes having smaller diameter

are placed towards the setting washers (46).

• Tighten the nut ( 42 ) by hand.

• Lock the bottom screw in the vice through the spanner seizing ( 47 ).

• Using a 13 mm spanner tighten the nut ( 42 ) up to the required torque (see Table

1 - Tightening torques).

RE- ASSEMBLING THE FORK LEG – SLIDER AND OIL SEALS

The old oil seals and dust seals must not be used again. Before re-

assembling, check the conditions of the guide bushings; replace them if they

are scratched or grooved. Check the Teflon coating of the guide bushings

which must be in a good condition.

• Apply some adhesive tape to the end of the stanchion tube so that it covers the seat

of the top bushing.

• Smear the dust seal and the oil seal with some grease.
