Took my bike to Nitron to have the suspension sorted today. They need it for a couple of weeks so will post up here what I think of it when it's done.
Probably not the best person to rate something as I could never tell the difference between the ESA settings so should be interesting to see if I can tell any difference.
No need to be worried. Nitron did the rear shock on my wife's F650 twin with the factory lowered suspension and I noticed it when we went to pick her bike up last week. She is well pleased with the improvement in ride quality she now has with the Nitron.

It's booked in to have Wilber's fitted on the 5th...
I should probably explain why I'm doing this.
The rear shock is really good I noticed the difference immediately it felt plusher and well just nicer.
So much so it made the front feel odd so I took it to maxton suspension near where I live about getting the forks done. They wanted £700 to sort it all out.
They said because the front is so soft it will give a vague feeling in corners and this is exactly what it does. But if you push it it's fine because it loads the suspension as you go into the corner giving it a firmer feel.
Maxton did say the rear shock is good it just needs some of the sag taking out of it. I was really impressed with maxton and if anyone needs suspension doing talk to them. But they are not cheap.
My other concern about it my bike has the ESA and the cable for it is just unplugged and left to pick up all the crap off the back wheel.
I spoke to revs racing and they said they could do the forks for and replace the rear shock for a Wilber's with ESA for £900 ish.
Maxton were going to put adjustable cartridges in and revs are just going to re-valve and re-spring the forks. But I don't need more adjustment as I don't use the adjustment I have.
So it's costing me 900 as apposed to 700 but I have the Nitron to sell and the bike will be back to standard (ish)
