FRONT SUSPENSION
CLEANING THE FORK LEGS
This operation can be carried out with the fork installed on the motorcycle.
Marzocchi lubricates the dust seals of its forks with grease to help the stanchion
tubes slide easier, particularly when the forks have not been used for a long period
of time.
Use of the forks can melt the grease, causing it to stick to the stanchions, and give
the appearance of an oil leak.
Inspect the forks to ensure that this is not the result of an oil leak. After every use,
carefully clean the fork’s outside surfaces, with special attention to stanchion tubes
and dust seals.
WARNING
If your forks develop an oil leak,do not ride your bike.
Correct the leak before you ride again.
Dismantling
• Carefully clean the stanchion tube (44) before carrying out this operation.
• Using a small screwdriver, prize the dust seal (16) off the slider (11) without
scratching or damaging the stanchion tube and the slider.
• Slide the dust seal along the stanchion tube. Clean inside the dust seal and its seat
on the slider with a jet of compressed air.
• Lubricate the dust seal and the visible surface of the sealing ring with silicon grease.
WARNING
Insects can stick to the surface of the legs during use,they can cause serious
damage to the suspensionsystem if not quickly removed.
WARNING
Never use metal tools to clean any particles of dirt.
• Compress the fork legs slightly and remove any traces of dirt from the stanchion
tubes (44).
• Remove any oil/grease and traces of dirt with a soft cloth.
• Lubricate the dust seal and the visible surface of the sealing ring with silicon grease.
Re-assembly
• Slide the dust seal (16) onto the slider (11), and press it into its housing with your
hands.
