Adv rear shock (proper 1150 one)

[Bigtwin]

started making creaking noise.

1) Ignore it - it's just the hot dry weather; or

2) Oh dear - it's about to pack in.

Whaddyathink?

Try going out without yer wallet and see if the reduced load helps

Check it is the shock - it's usually the paralever bearings that creak

on a slight tangent, am looking at getting by now spare Showa shock re-furbished and with a stiffer spring. Anybody know of where I can get it done in and around London?

Has anyone ever tried to Monolever a GS or GSA??
I've never liked Paralevers.
Stems from having one disintegrate and lock up on me in a very nasty place.
3rd lane M6/ A5 junction Cannock
Admitedly it was on a K1100. but I have rode loads of Beemers since with the Paralever and I just don't feel safe
In Fact the R1200 Cruiser is the Only current Beemer I would buy, mainly 'cos it ain't got a Paralever, and it is Jolly comfortable
so Steptoe O Wise one,>>
Is it possible??
Is it Viable???
Is it just ME ????

I await your response

Thats exactly what happened to mine.... I undid them slightly and retourqued them up and have had no probs since. Thats nearly a year ago now
