would be great to know how you got on with the bike after the shock was serviced, did it handle much better etc? My Gs rear has done 40,000 miles no leaks but handling feels very rough, doesnt glide of bumps like it used too!
I just bought my 2010 GS with 40,000KM on it... I don't know what to compare with but it feels rough, no float. Thinking I might buy a set of Tourtech springs.
I had Lucus service mine last summer. The main reason was I felt the shock was harsh especially through the seat into my lower back which I've been having problems with. I was hoping for a dramatic improvement, but i can't honestly say it feels much different. Not sure whether it's just a problem with my back or if I need to change the shock for something softer!
If you happen to be in Istanbul, stop by MOTOSENKRON and have all the shock absorbers of BMW motorcycles repaired with a one-year warranty, very cheap 250 euros.
