6.1.8 CHECKING THE COMPONENTS
STANCHION
Inspect the sliding surface for scoring and/or scratching.
Eliminate minor scoring with wet sand paper (grain size 1).
Replace the stanchion if badly scored.
Check for stanchion buckling using a dial gauge.
Replace the stanchion if buckled beyond the service limit.
Buckling limit: 0.2 mm (0.079 in).
SLEEVE
Inspect for damage and/or cracking. Replace if damaged.
DANGER
NEVER attempt to straighten a buckled
stanchion as this would weaken the overall
structure leading to a dangerous riding
condition.
SPRING
Check spring condition and ensure that the length is within
the specified limits.
If the length does not correspond, replace the spring.
Minimum length of the uncompressed spring: 284 mm.
Check the condition of the following parts:
