Hello all,

I have Marzo' 888 rcv2 forks which seem to have started knocking when the reach the fully extended position. For example if i ride along a fire road that has very small bumps they 'tap'. It's not the headset! If i hold the front brake on and push down on the forks there's no noise in the compression. When they rebound the knock happens at the final 1cm.

I would like to know if my settings are not right, i.e they need more rebound?

They have the rebound at the top on the right, red dial which turns or smaller tunning on the top of dial + & - signs.

Is it compression issues or do they need serviced?

Many thanks

Change your oil and put in the right amount. I have a 07 888 RCX2 and it was going a similar thing. I called Marzocchi and they told me 210 cc per leg, that fixed it.

Thanks for the response, i'll try that.

I would highly suggest going off oil heights on all marz forks over oil volumes. Much Much more accurate.

Sounds pretty spot on though, lovely sound the marz makes when it starts cavatating the oil

yup prolly add oil and yes measuring by height is a much more accurate. and one more thing its FORK not forkS you dont have two of em on your bike.

If the oild doesn't fix it, stop riding it and get it looked at by a professional asap. Mine did the same, then the lowers fell off over a jump and now I have two compression fractures in my back as a result. Mine was a 888 rc2x, but I'm thinking the rebound cartridge was the same.
