Barely used, very good condition, good price. My only concern is i heard not to buy any Marz product unless its an 07 or older, since they changed production from Italy to Taiwan(correct if wrong) and that the quality isn't up to par. If this is true, is there any sort of kit online you can buy to fix the problem? Any info is appreciated
found an 08 888 rc3, is it worth buying?

It was mainly bushings on that fork it was par chamber and etc on the air set... Marz had a different manufacturer for bushings in 09 and you can have those pressed in if they havent already making it a damn good fork... I had the 66rc3 that I beat the crap out of 08 and a 888 ata 08 and 09 that worked flawless 2 needed the bushings and aside of that they worked flawless...
So if its a good deal Id say feel good about it and buy it ride it and enjoy! :thumbsup:

It feels a bit like HS slop. Hold the front brake and rock the bike back and forth, it doesnt necesarily hurt anything more annoying in a parking lot test than anything else... But its a cheap and easy fix that can be ridden before fixing it anywase, I actually am contemplating buying one myself 08 or 09 because they are so damn cheap and slapping an avy cart in it like my boxxer... Great chasis great performance a few bad bushings and they got a bad name (along with the ata and the seals in that fork too)...

·Don't do it. I had an 08 888 RC3 and it was hands down the biggest pile of garbage I have ever owned. It went through 5 sets of lowers and 2 cartridges in the first 14 months and Zoke was not much help.
The first 2 sets of lowers Zoke just sent me and I swapped them, but the slop would come back in a matter of a couple weeks. Then they wouldn't just send them anymore and would require me to send the fork to them, which took anywhere from 4-6 weeks each time to get it back...
Just say no.

WOW I wasnt aware the internals were blowing I didnt have any issues with the RC3 I did have the bushing slop and that got addressed pretty decently.. There were already alot fo the bad lowers so it wasnt uncommom to see them pop up but I loved my 66 rc3 as well and I killed that littel b@stard on several stuff and it kept on trucking...sixsixtysix said:
Hmm well Id look and search as to what Sixsixtysix says Im sure theres truth to it I didnt have issues that doesnt mean there werent and I wouldnt hesitate getting another one and slapping new bushings in it... But thats what the internet is for so you can make a decision based on experience...

·I rode Zoke products for a long long time before my 08 888. My 06 888 RC2X was still one of the best forks I have owned. But after my issues with that 08 888 RC3 and the way that they were handled, I got rid of all my Zoke stuff and won't buy another product from them again. It was that bad.bullcrew said:
I can show you picts of the Zoke lower bonfires we used to have that summer, I think between me and my friends with 08 888's and 66's we went through almost 30 pairs of lowers.
