1980 250GS - Fork Set Up ?
« on: February 16, 2009, 11:06:59 am »
Gents,

Looking for an oil grade and amount set up for my 250 to run it a club days in VMX. It still has the thin Marzocchi forks that look standard.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Denis.

Update 11/3/09 - 15 weight oil without spacers resulted in a good feel but at least 50mm static sag. Inserted 25mm nylon spacers under the top caps - result was 20mm of sag and still a good feel.
