Anybody have a link to marsocchi forks fitted to the cagiva planet or usd mito forks? I just stripped mine off the bike to fit new seals..put the bike on a front paddock stand removed the wheel and both fork bottoms just fell out Shocked

1 leg has 2 loose collet type half washers that fell out..ok i think i can figure out where they go..but the other leg looks like it was built right so before i go poping any more wheelies i want to make sure these are built right....dont see them being fitted if they fall off like that EEEEK

hi,
when i dismantled the forks on my mito, those washer things flew out at an alarming speed & have never been seen since!
they go ontop of the forks,.
each one is half moon shaped right? they go around the rod inside the forks, just under the caps.https://www.oemmotorparts.com/oem5.asp?M=Cagiva&T=MITO%20EV%206%20MARCE%20%20125&Y=1999&L=CA-MITO-4&O=FRONT%20FORK&F=CA-MITO-4_BE&L2=CA-MITO-4_BE
item number 9 in here,
cheers,
GAZ

Cheers for the link Gaz just what I was after and yes those bits were found floating in the oil lol. I dont think the lad who owned this bike had much ability with a spanner TBH the amount of stuff fitted wrong is just mad!!

And thanks to those that helped via PM..you know who you are lol!!

I'll pick up the new seals tomorrow before stripping the forks further Very Happy

Make sure you get OE seals. The pattern ones that float around are 0.5mm too small and leak after a few hundred miles.
