  1. Hey all you veteran mechanics.

    I just scored a free Marzocchi XC 500 to put on my winter beater. The seals are still good and it
    still holds air. It's been about 8 years since I've worked on one of these or anything like it (XC
    600/700, XCR, XC 51). Does anyone out there happen to know what the stock oil height was for these
    things? I'm pretty sure they used 20 weight oil, but I really have no recollection of what the oil
    height I supposed to be. I'd rather not figure it out by trail and error, so if anyone knows, drop
    me a line.

    Happy riding all, spring is on it's way.

    Greg.
