@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.
