Just like to share my setup. Dialed in for aggressive street / trackday setup. 155lb rider including gear

Front:
Preload - Zero preload, about 41mm sag
Compression - 12 clicks out
Rebound - 5 clicks out

Rear
Prelaod - 3 Threads showing, about 26mm sag
Compression - 12 clicks out
Rebound - 4 clicks out

Best I felt so far, could use a set of lighter springs in the front to use up the lower part of the suspension. Corners fine, quick steering. Will be bumping on bad road surfaces, but bike tracks the road and provide good feed back.

Hey Jyli have you got any idea how many clicks of adjustment you have on the Zocchi"s? My Tri has got about 30,your about 10lb lighter than me and i"m running +1 turn in front preload from zero. I"m still taking small steps and took one full turn out of ride height adjuster and same on preload @rear. Only got 16mm sag there tho. But its improving all the time. I"ll keep you posted if I find that sweetspot.

Thx for posting, unfortunately I've got you by about 50lbs fully geared up so I doubt these setting will work for me? But then again, I've hardly changed from the stock settings so who knows? Maybe I'll give these a try and see.

Just to let you all know that Ohlins do a cartridge kit for the marzocci forks. I had trouble with damping adjustment and not being able to set the correct pre-load. Will let you know how it is when fitted

The 30mm NIX kits are supposed to be coming off production in Sweden this week, I'm expecting mine to arrive here next week. The 25mm TTX kits are still a couple weeks out. I had the 30mm NIX kit in my 1198s forks and they were great.

noob question:
12 click out meaning: turning 12 click clock wise from 0?

Phil

no. fully turned in clockwise = closed, then count the clicks out.

duckyduc

i assume it would be at it softest setting fully closed?

jyli19

fully close = stiff
full out = soft

test it and see for yourself, the difference is blatantly noticible, highly recommend. just keep a count and return to your original setting.

Phil

imagine it as a screw, suspended in the thread/nut above a hole. the more you turn it in, the closer it gets to the hole, until closed. the thinner gap represents the section where the damping fluid can pass. more screwed in = more closed = thinner gap = stiffer suspension and vice versa.

duckyduc

that makes sense lol!

Please make sure also when you bottom out the aduster in the fully closed position that you use VERY LIGHT pressure, don't crank it "tight" or you can damage the taper on the needle, causing erratic adjustment response.

Hi Jarel

How's the Ohlin 30mm Nix working out? What spring rate did you choose, vs stock rate of ...?

Thanks

jarelj

Haven't gotten to try them out yet, I was going to install them today to try on Monday but we discovered we don't have the right tool to remove the stock cartridges from the Marzocchi forks, so that plan was derailed! I got 1.0 springs for them. I was thinking of trying .95's but with the more forward weight bias the Panigale has I didn't want to lack support under braking so I went with 1.0. That was the rate Ohlins recommended also.

KFG Racing in Washington sales/installs a GP Suspension kit for the Marzocci forks also. I don't know how well it works but they installed a GP suspension kit on my FJR that really works great.

jyli19

has anyone swapped out the springs in their Marzocchi forks yet?

Any recommendations for aggressive street riding at 195 lbs?

This seems to work
