1100GS Shocks/Suspension

[dancata]

Hi all,

I observed today that my rear tire marked the rear fender:

The rebound knob was turned fully to opened, so it was unscrewd, and I ride with my girlfriend (~ 200kg together).

Also, I noticed that I can feel every little bump on the road surface, no matter if I ride alone or with passenger.

Is there anything I can do to set up my suspension, or do I have to buy something else?

Any info on how to set it up is welcome!

Thanks,
Dan.

Screw your rebound in as far as it goes...try rebound by pushing on bike..
Then slowly wind it out ..see it the rebound gets quicker..

If your tyre is hitting the underside , turn the spring remote adjuster to a harder setting...

if this dosnt make much difference , your spring is probably worn , or the remote spring adjuster is fecked , ceased up???

try avoiding all the bloody potholes also

hyper pro do a good spring replacement if the internals are worth keeping or refurnishing

there are several shops here that repair suspensions; buying a used one... I don't know... maybe it will be just like mine, or worse.

so I should get the spring more compressed; will try that and come back with results.
