Marzocchi Forks

[BETAGAR]

I don't mean to sound stupid, but how do I adjust the rebounds on these forks? I've had my new 300rr race edition for 1 month now and have only ridden it once. I'm waiting for my JD jet kit to come in, the factory jetting is not working well at all and now I'm dealing with a suspension issue. I was able to adjust the rear shock, but the Marzocchi forks don't have the normal adjustments I'm used to on my KTM. My dealer was not able to help, this was his first Race Edition sold. Any help would be appreciated.

Rebound is on the bottom (measured in clicks out from fully closed). The small screw in the top of the fork leg is compression (measured in clicks out from fully closed). The three-pointed adjuster on top of the caps is the PFP. Use a 12 point 22 or 7/8" wrench to adjust (measured from turns fully open).

Don't wait too long to get the initial oil out of the forks - your life, and that of the bike, will be better if you flush the original fill sooner rather than later.

To summarize they are just like any CC fork...

Just like any other CC fork with adjustable PFP ... but to say they are like a KTM begs the question "Which one?"

Thank you for all the input, I will look closer tomorrow. My KTM has a straight screw end on the bottom but the Beta has an allen type screw. I guess my other problem is the fact my bars are in the way of getting straight on top of the upper forks, so I'll have to customize a screw driver.
Thanks Gents

Is there something wrong with the factory oil? Or just the crud in the forks after break in? My bike has zero hours, but I'm doing the springs here this week, should I just throw new oil in when i do them or is the factory oil good enough for break in.

It's best to flush any and all of the crap left over from assembly from the forks, and you'll have a chance to do a visual inspection and make sure your bushings are in proper order etc. There are numerous threads on how to best disassemble and reassemble the PFP forks. Enjoy.
