Had a quick google but can't find anything on-line.
Can anyone point me in right the direction please?
Or any knowledge/experience to be passed on?
I've had both RS and Fox (air) lowers off before but not touched the 'zoccis yet. Anything I should know before I get the toolkit out?
Oil weights and volumes would be a good start.

use the following link for a downloadable version of the manual:

all you need to do is insert the model and year.
gonzy, thanks for the response but unfortunately that's just the owner manual which only gives you the basic user set-up info.
What I'm after is info on removing the lowers and changing oil etc.
Thanks anyway.
I could probably hazard a reasonable guess about disassembly but would need to know oil volumes and weights as a minimum.
Anyone stripped one yet?
aren't these the ones that only need touching every 3 years?
for that sort of service interval I'd probably send them back to windwave to have a squint at...
wwaswas,
Whilst they've a 3 yrs no service required warranty, I'd still like to be able to drop the lowers and take a look to keep 'em running 100%
Oil levels here http://www.marzocchi.com/template/contenuto.asp?LN=UK&IDFolder=777
Closest I found (I have a set of 55 rc3 ti) were some step by step photos on an mtbr.com forum post. i don't have the link to hand, sorry.
Not had need to crack mine open yet 🙂
They're not in the public domain, because if they were people like you (and me) wouldn't send them to Windwave for the service. Sorry.
Ecky - if you use the link i sent you there is a section called tech area which gives you infromation on oil levels and iar pressures etc. maybe this will be of more use to you.
i've had my 66rc's since 2005 and i've still not serviced them but theyre still running like new. as long as theyre not leaking any oil the oil levels should be fine, just check the air pressure regularly
Isn't there a danger that the best intentioned home service might make matters problematic that weren't to begin with? I they are designed not to need a outside of three years you may find that they are built quite differently to other forks and thus not so easy to home service.
Windwave are happy for people to drop the lowers to fit the travel adjust spacers to 44 forks so there's no moratorium on taking them apart.
Tbh, it was pretty easy to drop the lowers, dismantle the internal gubbins and fit the spacer and reassemble. I didn;t need to drain the oil as I did it with the forks upside down so it stayed in the uppers.
mtbr has some good advice and more detailed exploded diagrams on it.
don't forget they don;t do oil 'levels' any more - its 'volume' now.
fuzzhead & gonzy,
thanks - that's great.
will go searching mtbr forum tonight

if you find something useful can you post it up here!

They have a 3 year warranty that doesn't *require* them to have been serviced but they still recommend an annual oil change. They're open bath forks - I don't think theres any fancy sealed bits inside - so it should be pretty easy.
Will do M-C
not sure if this helps http://forums.mtbr.com/shocks-suspension/how-convert-you-06-07-66-rc3-dampening-608192.html
it's for a 66 rebuild/damper replacement, but maybe the same principles apply?
