Marathon 100 HelpBanning
Apr 9, 2002 6:38 AM
I can't get full travel of my marathon, I've 150 lbs and I'm riding with 28psi/80psi Pos/negative chambers, I tried to measure the oil levels but I don't believe I got it right, I measure 15cc on the left and 90 cc on the right, is this possible when they say 30/115cc on the manual.
Anyway with this amounts of oil/air I only get about 85mm of travel, where's the rest? (I've 105mm if I take the air out).
By the way sag is right at 15mm, I tried the pressures Marzocchi says on the manual I hardly can move the fork with those.
While we're at it, please tell witch pressure do you guys ride, and how much do you weight, obvious.

Can anyone help me?

You'll need to run more like 25mm sag to get full travel on that fork. Try running 30cc left/90cc right for oil levels, that's what the Marz tech guys recommended to me.
