August 26, 20233 yr Bought a Sherco that seems to be fitted with 40mm marzocchis but I'm not sure what the oil level should be. I did find a good reference site but I'm not sure what model of forks I have. The markings I see on the bottom of the fork legs are: M = looks like marzocchi logo 05 (in a circle with 12 segments) = manufacture date? MA130 = ? 1039 = --- Same M and 05 on the other leg but then MA131 = ? 1040 = ? Do these help identify the specific model of fork? There are loads of different model names listed for 2005 on http://marzocchiworkshop.blogspot.com/p/oil-quantitys-and-levels_858.html?m=1
August 26, 20233 yr The O5 in a circle sounds like a casting date. Things like this would be cast in large lot sizes. Then there is machining and painting plus transit times. I have spent a little time looking at casting dates on Beta cylinders. A cylinder with 05 casting date would likely be found on a 2006 or even a 2007.
