OUTER SLEEVE
• 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.
Max. allowed buckling: 0.2 mm.

stanchion as this would weaken the overall
structure leading to a dangerous riding
condition.

damaged.
