Hi, first time posting. Can anyone provide me with the standard set-up for the Marzocchi forks on my SB3 i.e oil viscosity and volume, air gap etc. Also, can anyone provide me with their recommended set-up as I find them too firm and would like to soften them off a bit.

do you do Facebook? On the Bimota Enthusiasts Worldwide Facebook group in the Files section theres a free download for the Marzocchi M1R forks manual for full strip and service....if looking for a softer set-up use a slightly lighter grade of fork oil than specified

And if you don't do facebook (as myself) I have the M1R manual on my website

And also a service bulletin that suggests some improvements.

Thanks guys, I think my forks pre-date the M1R series but I'm sure the service info provided will be useful, usable information.
Cheers.
