2014 Marzocchi Damper Rod

[Newy69]

Hi guys,
I've just bought a 2014 Beta 300RR and found the RH fork leaking real bad.
The forks are 48mm Marzocchi Reds, closed chamber.
I stripped it down and found the damper rod is worn about .002" with a few grooves as well.
I realise Marzocchi is out of business but was wondering if anyone knows where I can get a good second hand one or new for that matter.
I also need the bush as well. The damper rod is 11.88mm diameter.

Thanks
Brett

Marzocchi is back in business. Contact zip-ty racing. They used to be the us distributor for Marz. If they are not any more they may still have an inventory of parts

You guys are aware that Marzocchi was purchased lock stock and barrel by Fox Racing Shox. They are preparing to launch new product, but the Moto side of the equation is still a bit cloudy.

Marzocchi's moto suspension business was never owned by Fox.

Tenneco, Marzocchi's previous parent company, sold the mountain bike products portion of Marzocchi to Fox Factory Inc. in November 2015.

VRM, an Italian supplier of motorcycle components to BMW and Ducati et al, acquired the Marzocchi motorcycle suspension business from Tenneco in late December 2015. In mid-January 2015 VRM announced that the Marzocchi moto suspension business would move into a brand new dedicated production plant.

Based on this web page it appears Marzocchi is still making the 48mm USD CC forks with PFP.

I didn't realize they split the divisions up when they sold. Thanks.

I didn't realize it either until I bought a new 48mm OC fork kit for my Xtrainer from Boano Racing last month. I'm still not sure where to buy parts for maintenance etc. Gas Gas and Beta seemed to have jumped from the Marzocchi ship a while ago.

Thanks wwguy, I sent an email to "marzocchimoto.com on Monday with no response as yet, maybe it's just the Christmas rush.
I did get a reply from zip-ty racing asking which parts I was chasing, although I'd already stated which parts I was chasing, anyway I emailed them a copy of the parts diagram, circling the parts I need.No reply as yet.
Although this is probably not Beta's fault it's just a bit disheartening to have a 2 year old bike that I cannot seem to get fork parts and the suspension forum is saying to throw the Marzocchi forks away and fit Kyb's.
Hopefully I won't read in the engine forum "that a KTM 300 engine will fit with a few mods and is much easier to get parts"
Haha, just kidding.
Anyway, thanks for your help so far.

The 2017 GG still wear Marzocchis up front. Their project bike was shown at EICMA this past year with KYBs front and rear, but as far as I can tell no production dates have been released.

How was your progress ?
I am also curious about where to find Marzocchi parts.
