Does anyone in Scotland do this?

My 98 Z2 Lights seem to have different length legs and I'm not sure I want to tackle the issue myself.
 
Yes there are a few on here that have done them big.eck being one.

But they are quite simple if you have a few bits lying around.

Follow this
http://www.enduroforkseals.com/id3.html and http://www.enduroforkseals.com/id27.html
for the seal and bushing info if your after them. Tools are the same as are the seals and bushings.

Could just need a clean and oil top up.

I also uplaoded a tech info guide into the Archive, which has detailed setup information in it.

Pull them apart then worry about it and get someone to fix it if needed :twisted:
 
Mmm, they're a bit pricey.

Odd problem, the legs appear to be different lengths so I presume the internals on one leg are gubbed. It's only about 5mm but it's enough to throw the rim about 10mm to one side.

Grab the manual (sure they're not Z3 Lites ? ) it's on marzocchi website for what you need to do .
 
Definitely Z2 Light (and I think light is an Italian joke) The metallic yellowish-green ones.

I'll have a search for the manual.
 
i can service them in under 15 minutes ;) i also have a few spare legs/springs and other bits & bobs . geeza shout when you want them done (it'll cost you a cuppa tho ;) )

So they're not stuffed then?

I thought it was maybe a wonky wheel but I tried with another and it was the same.

You can see the difference in distance from the wheel centre to the leg centre.
