spring weight in marzocchi forks

[fuzzynutz]

Does anyone know the stock weight of the springs they ship 04 z1 drop off 2's with?

I never seem to get full travel (i weigh like 160lbs), and I'm wondering if I should try lighter springs.

Check the online manuals on the marzocchi site...your oil height may be off. You might have too much in there keeping you from getting your full travel. I think the manuals also tell you what spring weight you should be using.

So Marzocchi's manual recommends using a screwdriver to remove the dust seals.? Um, I've tried this and have been unsuccessful. Is there a better way to remove them? I don't want to force a screwdriver under the seal and end up scratching the stanchions.
