Inner Tube Inspection
•
Visually inspect the inner tube [A], and repair any dam-
age.
•
Nicks or rust damage can sometimes be repaired by using
a wet-stone to remove sharp edges or raised areas which
cause seal damage.
If the damage is not repairable, replace the inner tube.
Since damage to the i nner tube damages the oil seal,
replace the oil seal whenever the inner tube is repaired
or replaced.
CAUTION
If the inner tube is badly bent or creased, replace
it. Excessive bending, followed by subsequent
straightening, can weaken the inner tube.
•
Temporarily assemble the inner and outer tubes, and
pump them back and forth manually to check for smooth
operation.
•
If you feel binding or catching, the inner and outer tubes
must be replaced.
WARNING
A straightened inner or outer fork tube may fall in
use, possibly causing an accident. Replace a badly
bent or damaged inner or outer tube and inspect the
other tube carefully before reusing it.
