Mikuni BST36/BDST36 slide guide

At 8,300 miles (13,358 km). Wear has exceeded the depth of the depressions at the lower end of the slide excursion/concentric to the bore. Note the plastic dust in the circular depressions. Maximum measured wear is ~0.020" (0.51 mm). Emulsion tube wear ensues rapidly when the slide guide has worn beyond ~0.010" (0.25 mm). Wear per 1,000 miles (1,609 km) is 0.0024" (0.06 mm), indicating that the guides should be replaced approximately every 4,170 miles (6,711 km). Averaging between this example and the 36,000 mile (57,936 km) example yields 4,460 miles (7,178 km).
