Just checked, the manual says 65mm. But I also had a look at the mnual for the 2001 Z1 MCR (rebound cartridge and ECC cartridge) and it says 50mm, so I would suggest 65mm in the right leg (rebound) and 50mm in the left leg (ETA). Note that this is with the legs fully compressed, and you need to pump the cartridge rod until there is no air left in it.
Hi bevanp,
This is a bit of a long shot but I found an old post on a forum for this site about servicing marzocchi forks, and in it you said you had a service manual for the 2001 z1 drop off forks.
These are the forks I have and I am looking to service them - do you by any chance still have a copy of this? I assume it is a PDF as it was downloaded from their website; if you could forward it my way it would be massively appreciated.

Hope to hear from you soon!
