diameter measured and compared with the figures given in the
Specifications section of this Chapter. Play between the lower
bush/piston and the inside of the lower leg, must not exceed 0.2
mm (0.008 in).
5 The lower leg bore and the fork stanchions must also be
examined for signs of scoring, which is usually caused by grit
particles becoming embedded in the seal lip. The stanchions
should be checked for straightness, especially if accident
damage is suspected. This can be done by mounting the stan-
chion between V blocks and measuring any eccentricity with a
dial test indicator (DTI) or by rolling the stanchion on a surface
plate or sheet of plate glass. It is possible to straighten a slightly
bent stanchion in a hydraulic press or flypress. This is, however,
a task for an expert, and
on the practicability of
straightening a stanchion should be heeded.
6 When reassembling the forks, make sure the spring rings on
the stanchion are seated correctly. When fitting the new seal,
lubricate the sealing lip and stanchion, and tap it squarely into
position in the top of the lower leg. Do not omit the retaining
screw in the base of the lower leg if the restrictor was removed.
7.1 Note spring has tighter coils at top
7.2a Remove seal retaining circlip
7.2b Remove screw in base of lower leg if restrictor is to be
withdrawn
7.3 New seals should be fitted as a precaution
7.4a Examine the headed top bush
