Front fork
Checking the front fork
Place the spring on a flat surface and measure free length (L).
Service limit:
270 mm
Change the spring if not within limit.
Check outer surface of both sliders and inner surface of both outer sleeves. They should show no signs of scores,
scratches or distortions.
Check that stanchion tubes are straight.
Maximum straightness error allowed is 0.10 mm.
Each time the slider is separated from the sleeve, it is a good rule to change the pilot bushes (15) and (19).
Check the spring cap (20) for distortion in the highlighted area. Replace, if needed.
