[Ducati] 900SS Damper

[brad black]

i haven't paid much attention to late marzocchi, i wasn't really thinking of them and can't remember what the 900S ones actually look like.

if they're like the earlier marzocchi forks - 600/750/900cr - the spacer is plastic and sits on top of the spring.  the cartridge is a captive part of the lower fork leg - it's held in by the tube which is rolled at the bottom to keep it in.  that's why you can't revalve the marzocchi.  well, you can get them apart if you really want to.  you can pull off the lower aluminium piece that holds the caliper, etc.  that's what the bolt holds on.

on the earlier ones you just pull down the spacer a little and it lets you remove the collets holding the top retainer on.  then it all slides off.  if you email me at work - motobrad at bigpond.net.au - i can sit in front of the parts catalogue while replying so that way i should be able to be more specific.
