where is the "pump" for the rear suspension. any photos ?
suspension pump
- Thread starter de crowe
- Start date
It is like a bicycle pump with a gauge on the end. The valve is quiet visable. Some owners put a pump holder on the bike, I keep mine in a bag and to be honest two of my HP2's are on Wilbers and the rest will be too.
It should be mounted vertically, just inside the frame between the footpeg and saddle.
If your bike doesn't have one - they cost around £100 from BMW. I bought a MTB shock pump that fits in my tool rool for around £25 which does the trick but does take a while as it doesn't have much volume.
I'll try to remember to take pics tomorrow

pump
many thanks guys. I have purchased, but not seen the bike in any meaningful way yet. Its "custodian", who lurks around this site
, has been thrashing the bike out West and assures me he can see no pump, valve yes! pump no!

The pump is normally fitted horizontal next to the shock. The clips are not the best and lost my pump twice and found it again (does not go far in the garage 
)
On a related note the airshock do loose air over time so have to pump it up every now and again (couple of weeks) The moment my feet start touching the ground I know it is time for a refil

My pump was missing as well so I also got one for a mountain bike shock, its excellent quality with a pressure guage up to about 200 psi and fits in my jacket or tank bag pocket. only takes 2mins to top the shock up.
I check mine with a tape measure. I've no idea hat pressure is in thereOn a related note the airshock do loose air over time so have to pump it up every now and again (couple of weeks) The moment my feet start touching the ground I know it is time for a refil
With the bike in its usual resting place (block under sidestand) I measure between the RHS indicator bolt and the paralever torque arm bolt.
500mm is about right for me (14.5 st) and the type of riding I do. When it gets down to about 495mm I can feel it getting too soft.
What shop and what make please and a pic if posable
