ESA Stuck

[MartinK]

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

£300 ish IIRC...

Had a similar problem on a R1250RS, suspension felt solid and nothing changed on playing with esa settings, dealer diagnosis didn't reveal anything suspect.
However during annual service it was noticed the shaft recall hadn't been done, some water ran out when fitting the drain, turned out the shaft had seized at both ends, took them a few hours to free and cut out the shaft and replace it.
The ride home afterwards was like a completely different bike and changing suspension settings actually made a difference, bike was also a lot quieter.

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).
