I'm pretty sure that I know the answer to this but before I lash out many beer vouchers I want confirmation.....

The original front shock on my Nov 03 1150GS has now done 34,000 miles.

The bike is starting to feel a bit loose riding hard in bends and cornerering. Even before my feet are scraping. There is no apparent movement from wheel bearings, ball joint, head race at the front or wheel, swing arm etc at rear.

What I do have is about 20-25 mm of what feels like undamped movement on the front coil over shock when the bike is on the centre stand.

Fcuk'd?
 
Is it leaking....:nenau

You can try my OE front one if you like, it's got 24k gentle miles on it...no longer in use due to Wilbers.
 
No CC, it's not leaking and as for yours with 24,000 gentle miles:eek:

I didn't think you did gentle, very smooth yes, gentle no:P

I'll pass on that as I intend to upgrade anyway, it's just a case of which brand.
