Marzocchi Shocks
« on: June 14, 2012, 06:10:59 AM »
My 76 750F1 is fitted with a pair of Marzocchi rear shocks. Can anyone tell me what air pressure they should be set at?

I guess they are the old Strada model? If so, 28-42 psi-  useful overhaul manual here too

Thank you very much for the information! :)

This thread made me to search and I found here as well. http://www.marzocchi.co.uk/documents/techinfo/STRADA%20MANUAL.pdf

I have a set on my bike that most likely need some care. Rubberparts such as gaskets might be a little bit tired since 1984 when I bought them.

More on the list then :D

Marzocchi Strada dampers are nice aftermarket parts from the days many years ago for CB750 like Dresda swingarm.....
