  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

All 2st Marzocchi fork rebuild tutorial????

Is there a rebuild tutorial posted anywhere on here? I've looked here, on youtube, and google with no luck. I tried the marzocchi site also, but navigating around there is confusing at best.
I'm familiar with fork service on Showa TC's but not so much with marzocchi's.
 
Hmmm, I have a 2009 wr250. I think it is the open chamber model. The rebound adj is on top and the compression adj is on the bottom....
 
Those will be open chamber.

Internally, they are very similar to a KYB or Showa OC fork. I don't know what you mean by "rebuild," but doing seals and bushings is the same as every other USD fork, nothing special there!
 
I torn into my 50mm dual chambers a few times ... Nothing really difficult or complex but that work is a little fragile as some parts are small, some made out of ALUM (?), and easy to strip or break as compared to other bike parts... Just take your time, get a good clean area to do the work, and maybe takes pics along the way... You can always ask questions out here also. If you play with the shims, be careful as they are very thin and can stick together...

The good part is you have 2 identical forks ... If you get lost on one fork, the second fork can be your blue-print for the correct path for re-assembly ..

Good luck ...
 
FlyingBob, I am trying to rebuild my forks also and was hoping to get some info from this link but it doesn't work anymore...….Do you have a current link to it ?

Thanks!
 
I highly recommend using SKF seals on those forks. The longevity and performance gain from reduced stiction is more than worth twice the price of the seals.
