    Marzocchi rebuild link

    Thought there might be some people that would find this handy. If you go to the sites 'home' page, under suspension you can also find a 'zip' file of the manual. Very nice of those Ducati boys.

      Just updating this thread for future use. The UK company that was selling the Strada rebuild kits thru their shop at marzocchi.co.uk shut down their website ,and that part of the shop, last year and have since opened a new one where they're just selling the Strada kits, seals and bushings.

      UPDATE: we can no longer supply this spares kit, there are still kits available in the market (not from us), please try ebay. Many thanks! ...


      A bit of a low key site for sure but I've talked with the guys and it's all legit, just a small subsidiary of their larger company http://www.windwave.co.uk/

          Just wanted to update this. I received my rebuild kit, (the first kit was lost in the mail, I emailed the company the sent a second kit no charge immediately, arrived 2 weeks later, big thumbs up) looks to be all proper. Slowwwwlllly rebuilding. Unfortunately the one part you can't get is the small preload spring that is inside the shock and on both of mine, as with many others, they are broken. I've bought a spring the same width and cut it to size and installed it. I don't know if it's as strong as the original but it is thick, I'm hoping since the main spring is so dang stiff it won't make a difference.

            Finally got around to rebuilding the shocks. Everything went fine enough, the kit seems to work just fine. I'll post an update in a few weeks once I have them on the bike again.



            All they need are the stickers but I'm going to wait to trial them on the bike before I shell out the $50 for those.
