A couple service/maintenance questions
« on: August 20, 2019, 08:50:01 AM »
I have 2 questions to which I cannot find an answer. I'm hoping you all can help

1- I want to change the fork oil. What oil and weight should I use? And what volume? you think this would be in the owner's manual or service manual but I cannot find it there or anywhere online.

2 - I just noticed that when I turn the key to the "P" positon (ie park) the Victory symbol comes on screen and underneath it says "SERVICE REQ'D". It has no code following it. And there is not and has never been a service light come on in the "ON" position., which to my understanding is where a service alert should appear.  This is the 1st time I ever put it in "P" so ...Is this normal? What does an unspecified Service Req'd light mean? Where can I find this info

Thanks in advance everyone. Ride safe

Most likely a "service reminder"  If you have no other warning lights on, no big deal.  As to the forks, the service manual says see the fork service manual.  I have the manual but the file size is over that allowed by the forum.  Just search for the Marzocchi fork manual on the web.  It is a .PDF you can download.
