Speaking of Zokeys, I just dialed in my z150. Its uber active on small bumps, and is super linear. Im running a red spring in the left, only air in the right with minimal oil and about 27lbs of pressure. It feels soooo nice.

The DJ3 doesnt have rebound adjust, so I suggest filling it up with some heavier oil. Its very simple. Just unscrew the topcap, take out the spring, empty it into a bucket, compress the fork a couple times to get the oil out of the damper, and refill to the recommended oil height.

Congrats on the new fork. I just got a new Marathon SL yesterday. I was really impressed when I went to remove the sticker cover and the whole sticker came off, now that's quality.

Anyway, took it for it's first ride yesterday, once I get it set up right I think it will be a pretty nice fork, not crazy about it having four air valves though, figure it will take a while to get it right.

I always wonder if marz does that on purpose. So many people don't like the decal. I removed it off of every fork I buy

If only they would make those warning stickers easier to remove. Those things are almost impossible to get off.

Nailpolish remover should do the trick.
