scrat Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Hi, Working my way through refreshing a 2005 txt pro and need some advice on forks if possible? Having done a bit of investigation I understand I need to prime the cartridges before assembly so they bleed properly? I have both legs apart (top caps off and springs out) Looking at vids online of later Marzocchis, the plug at the bottom of the cartridge comes out after it's depressed and the circlip holding it is removed. Are the 2005 40mm forks the same? The bottom aluminium plug doesn't seem to want to move at all after some gentle tapping and I don't want to force it in case the design is different. I have searched the forum but can't find anything to clarify Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 Not the same fork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 I would send you to Snell`s website, but seems to be some form of conflict. Too bad Gas Gas never published any good info on there own bikes. Come to think about it, Gas Gas would have failed much sooner if it weren`t for the internet and great sites such as this!

baldilocks Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 Try scorpa or ossa websites, oh sorry they never bothered either ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazybond700 Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 (edited) Those forks are still serviceable ''the easy way''. I would suggest taking them appart fully. So take the bold on the bottom out, and you can take out the whole insert. IF you want to change the seals take out the innertube aswell and give it a good clean. Than put bake together in reverse order. Put in the innertube if you took it out, insert seal etc, put the insert in, bolt at the bottom, than you can start filling it, set the air chamber (pump the rod some times to take air out), put in the spring and screw on the toppart, screw in the top cap and done.
