2005 GS front shock

[Savvar]

After a 5yr gap in my 55-yr biking history I’m back on the road with a 30,000 mile 2005 GS 1200. I am happy with it except the front suspension seems very hard even on the softest setting. Information online points to replacing or repairing the shock absorber. Is there a “recognised route” for improving tired front suspension on this age GS?

The "Recognised route" would be in the correct forum

Best bet would be removal and refurbishment with T-Tech suspension.

BTW you will find more results in the HEXHEAD section.

Welcome Savvar.

Your shock will be well past its refurb date, and once done it will be a night and day difference, then you can really enjoy the new bike!

I apologise! The route wasn't obvious....
