|   Oil levels.....various Marz forks.. | wXman
Jan 12, 2004 11:40 PM | | So I run different zocchi forks on several bikes and after reading several of the posts here im comfused as hell (easy to do) and hoping those with more gray matter than myself will help me out ;-)
All my forks are coil sprung versions in their respective models. I weigh 175#, and ride lots of techy trail and light/moderate freeride stuff. Wondering what the definitive answer is for ideal oil level on a Z150 FR, Z1 FR (stnd axle), and Super T forks. All are stock as "new" and have never been opened. The 150 and super T's are brand new, the Z1FR has a couple 1000's miles on it and needs service (sounds "squishy" inside).
I actually have 2-bikes with super T's on them. One that my 15yr old son rides (he weighs 175# too, has compression adjusters all the way down, and it is "easy" to put it through travel....heavier spring needed...or just more or heavier oil?). The other my 13yr old rides (about 110#'s) and it seems about right for him "as is", just has an oil leak and needs seal replacements so I'm trying to gather info for that repair.
While it is very sweet having my boys being enthusiastic riders with me, MAN it's a double edged sword. I need to get paid to be their full time mechanic! Of course....having them eggin' me on to make a "double" on our ride this last weekend sure didn't suck ;-)
Thanks in advance for any advice |
