2010 Marzocchi 888 Evo tuning thread

[dilzy]

Whats the word from Marzocchi as to whether they'll warrantee the consumer fiddling with the base valve? They seem a bit touchy about people working on their own forks, even if it's designed as such.

Well if an end user attempts to work on a fork and the fork fails, it is a fair assumption that the fork failed because of a mistake they made rather that a manufacturing fault so no warranty. Just use your common sense and it won't be a problem.


I just thought I should point out that the Evo TI fork has more oil then the standard Evo, 320cc to be precise

[Hacktastic]

More oil in the damper leg I assume? Does it come with some negative air set up in it as well?

[DirtyMike]

How are the adjusters on this bad boy? Detented? How many clicks form full open to full closed ETC.... Would be very interested to know this.

All are detented. I'll get a range count.

I'm guessing you're Veselin's (aka Weasel Greasers) friend with the DHR?

my ebay dealer said to me yesterday that marzocchi USA rollout the 888 rc3 evo ti next week!

Yup the damper needs more oil since the bottom of the tapered legs displace less oil. Apart from the bottom end of the cartridge, the damper leg is pretty much the same as 09 (only other change is the alloy tube that is part of the progression adjustment has material machined out of it) so I think they are just assembled while compressed halfway.

[Hacktastic]

Noted.

[dilzy]

Do they have that zero low speed damping feel off the top that zokes in 07 had?

[Hacktastic]

Basically, but even more magnified. The bushing smoothness is like nothing I've ever felt before. The harder you hit stuff the more they hold you up it seems (as long as you don't have your adjuster wound all the way out).

[dilzy]

I mean if you want can you have a good amount of lsc right off the top? I'm not a fan of that "slack" space that my 07's have after a long run.

Sure can. The adjuster has about 9 clicks and if you need to go any further then its time to change the shim stack

eh, rode one of those new evo things this weekend, I'd still take an 08 or 08 888 rc3 over it. A bit smoother, and I prefer the damper feel a bit more. Better on the small and medium/square edge bumps.

Said the toolbag who basically dry-humped my Evo 888 and now owns one as of today...
