Whats Wrong???
Ive noticed that there is play in my Dirtjumpers 3's lately. So today i looked at it more...I noticed right where the stancions go into the lowers, they wiggle back and forth. I have two questions...
1. Whats wrong and can it be fixed?
My bike manual says there is a 1 year warranty on complete bikes, ive had my bike for less than a year so..
2. If my fork needs replacing, does this waranty cover it?

If im not mistaken. Play with stanchions and the lower piece means your bushings are shot.

But if your stuff has a warranty, seek that. If that fails, seek the help of whoever made your fork

So skip the overhaul, try to get a new fork from Norco, then from Marzocchi, if those fail do the overhaul?

thats what i would do. I mean you payed for the bike, and part of what you pay is for the warranty so you might as well use it.
