Well that doesn't sounds like a cheap fix
Fortunately all the work that related to the shaft, inspection, test, strip, and shaft replacement was all carried out FOC under the BMW recall - so I only paid for the annual service and MoT.
I went out for a ride this weekend after the re calibration.
Still not right, BUT when i changed modes it did feel different.
The suspension although still banging and hard is less in Rain mode than it is in Dynamic for instance.
As @anotherone mentioned i am leaning more towards a shaft issue.
I have booked in with Williams BMW Manchester for them to look at it, i might as well ask for a full service including the final drive too.
I will explain the issues to the mechanic and await his opinion.

have you had the recall done for the shaft to be inspected/replaced yet? (if your Bike is in that catchment).
So finally after booking then having it rescheduled my bike is in BMW
Lets see what they have to say, i await a phone call.
Ive been given a 800 GS as a loan bike, its ok but i wouldn't want to own one.
You forget how much the front end dips after riding a 1200+ and the chain jerk as you roll off the throttle.
it feels like a toy lol

So the rear strut is knackered.
So that what it needs

So went and picked the bike up
Quote to fit new strut £2004.31

Get it fixed by Denzo or look at aftermarket shocks
I've sent him a message from his website form.
Thats a ludicrous price for a new unit, hope you can get it refurbished at a much more sensible price
I had the same with both front and rear esa on a 1200r. I sent them to Denso, both had seized solid with internal corrosion and the bike was mint! He rebuilt them both making them serviceable in the future too for £500 ish . Really swift and easy procedure using the post would highly recommend. Ask him how many he does!!!! BMW know this is an issue!

Sad part of this is i was thinking of finally part exing my bike for either a late 1250 or a new 1300.
but if i end up paying the full price for this i will have to keep the bike.
paying that just to part ex would be daft.
Hopefully Denzo can come to the rescue and i will keep the bike until feb when the new reg is out then go looking.
