ESA Stuck

[Barnoe]

I am currently in the lakes doing passes and camping.
Ride was really hard and I was in Dynamic, so changed to Road.
Nothing changed
It now reads

Road
---------

Only thing I changed recently is the battery. Could this do this?

Could be. Disconnect the battery overnight and see if it resets in the morning.

As in the setting shows a different option, but the ride feels the same?

The system makes assumptions based on factory presets, as explained here: -

https://www.bmw-motorrad.co.uk/en/e....html#/section-even-more-technology-in-detail

On my K1600GT, I run in ride mode Dynamic, but with damping set to Road, which softens the ride without impacting on the bike's responses. Rain mode is fine for the purpose intended, but softens things off a tad too much in the dry.

No, they ride feels shit.
Specially going over bumpy roads almost feels like metal on metal.
Definitely not right.
I have the plug in thing to home.
Will see if there is any errors

what i meant was, you changed the suspension setting electronically but physically it felt like the ride did not change between settings?

 

[Pukmeister]

Could be a stuck servomotor or something?

Might be worth getting your suspension looked at by Denz0, he modifies some components with uprated items due to design shortcomings to improve the ride.

 

[Barnoe]

Ok back home.
Put the 911 on it and no errors on ESA




Do have 1 fault though

Where is Denz0 based

If the new battery is a little low on voltage the ESA can struggle I believe

[Barnoe]

It is now been messing too much since I come back




I run these and could here it wiring and moving.
Put the bike in garage now on the optimate to boost the battery.
Will give it a test run tomorrow

 

[squibb34]

I guess it could be damper fluid overheating (warm weather, bumpy roads) & losing viscosity - the damper loses effective control, creating a harsh ride.

Whatever, if it remains a problem, talk to T-Tech .......... https://ttechsuspension.com/

 

[DJ123]

Where is Denz0 based

I believe he has moved from Croydon to Brighton/West Sussex sort of way.

He does postage.

Did you do it with both wheels off the floor?

 

[Santa-2512]

Denzo is now in Newhaven I believe

Mothership wanted £1300 and that was with a 80% contribution from themselves to replace my rear when it failed

Denzo will be far cheaper

 

[Barnoe]

Did you do it with both wheels off the floor?

On center stand.

 

[DJ123]

On center stand.

Need to do it with both wheels off the floor during the whole calibration service. Where it extends both shocks out to full length.

It says it on the GS-911 with the calibration setting.

I must have missed that bit

I will do it again tonight, i don't have a jack so some jiggery pokery will have to administered.

I do find it strange that i could hear and see things moving during calibration, but not when i selected Dynamic/Road/Rain/Enduro.
In the past i select either while riding, stopped or off the bike and it quickly moves no problem.

I need to take it for a spin and try after calibration really.
Didn't do it yesterday as i was really tired after riding all day.

In truth the roads around Eskdale wont have done the suspension any good while like this.
I was fully loaded too with camping gear etc.

The mothership only warrant them to 30K !
