it’s nothing but I know from experience that a first scratch on a new bike always hurts in a special way.

Fingernail catches on the stanchion scratch?
If yes, there are plenty of guides to repairing them with nail polish.
If no, nothing to worry about.

Bike needs more dirt on it!

If you’ve got the money, there is never a bad time for an upgrade (or new bike even 😉)

You’re good, ignore and ride on. Deep gouges and burrs can wear out seals and require sanding down/epoxying the stanchion surface, but this isn’t anything like that.

Dont need a replacment but expext black stuff to start come off, might not, but in my experiance from first scrach they just start to go. How old is bike? Like 6month and you see the shiny steel

My best friend works at Fox. If you send that in to replace it, the tech will then use this one his own bike. It’s fine
