Fluid quantity for Rear Marzocchi - 1973 750 GT

Post by Dukaccino »

Hi All,
Hunted everywhere for this info but hard to find
These are the older Marzochhis with the Ali covers.
Can anyone tell me what the fluid qty is for this shock please.

Thanks in Advance

@Peter : Ducaccino was asking for the rear shockabsorbers.

@ Ducaccino : did a "quick" search through our manuals but apart from the rebuild of the separate reservoir Marzocchi : nothing else on rebuilding earlier stuff. Just a mention that they should be overhauled every 30-40K.

If nothing turns up we would fill it half with ATF or a suitable light damperoil and just try. If on a bumpy road it starts directly dribbling the weight is too light. If it starts dribbling after some time : add oil. Expermenting can be fun. Or not.

ciao
