I have the impression that the suspension of my 1150GSA gets lower with age. In the beginning I was just about able to put my heel on the ground, now my knees are bent. It's still the original suspension (showa) and has done 30000 miles. When sitting on the 12ADV, which is 1.5cm higher, the difference was just too noticable.
Should I replace it?

Tnx for the advice

Cheers

At 30k miles its fecked, my 1150 was fecked at 20K, replace with Ohlins or Wilburs or WP and it will feel like a different bike, it will be better than it was with the new Showa's.
 
I felt like mine was getting lower too (30K) although I could've been imagining it. It was handling a bit rough anyway so I bought Ohlins and transformed the bike as mentioned above.

Pluck
