suspension

Hey everyone, I recently bought an R1250GS Adventure but didn’t realize it was factory lowered – rookie mistake, I know! The dealer didn’t mention the height in the ad, so they’re covering the cost to raise it back to the standard height. I'm wondering what exactly I should expect during this...

Hi So having taken the R150gs out for about 75 miles or so to get rid of last years fuel it occurred to me during the last ride that the bike is blowing through its travel real fast, and the sag seems excessive when I sit on it. (so much so kicking the side stand up means I have unweight the...

I am new to this so go easy. I have just increased the rear suspension preload on my 2005 R1200GS. When I tried to increase the damper screw it just spins. It was stiff initially, but now it spins. I feel it may have snapped, but it will be at the correct setting at time of snapping. Can this...

Hi, I recently bought an F800 GS Adventure, for use both on road during the week, and some light off roading at the weekend. However I'm finding it just a touch too tall, so on uneven ground I am not confident getting my feet down to hold it up if the bike starts to lean over at very slow...
