  4. Any sign of oil leaking out. Presumably the skyhook could be working on it but obviously would not know a seal had gone.
     
  5. 2013 touring S. 44,000m. No leaks. Preload servo working.
     
  6. Funny, I had that when my bike threw up the 'recalibrating preload' message.

    Try cycling through the modes from solo to 2+luggage, see if you get any change.
    Also try editing the values applied from the default. You can always adjust back if necessary.
     
  7. Yup, tried all that. Buy will try disconnecting battery this eve to let it recalibrate.
     
  8. Well that didn't work. Shock 're calibrated as normal when battery reconnected. But still all boingy boingy. Arse. Gonna be expensive this, I reckon.
     
  9. Seems like no damping on compression or rebound.
     
  10. May be worth an eBay trawl for replacement!
     
  11. Probably get it reconditioned/serviced. I think thatll cost bout 200. 2nd hand is an unknown.
     
  12. Sounds like you’ve got brewers droop. Probably not the first time in your life and probably not the last.

  13. If it’s electronics add a zero imho

    Think if that happened to me, I’d be looking to retrofit regular suspension if I didn’t find a good second hand one.

    Good luck :)
     
  14. Well that's cheered me up no end.
     
  15. @PGP you know anything about these? Can you rebuild them?
     
  16. I heard that the sachs parts are non existent, something that Ohlins are good at, might require new units? Ouch bet that's going to cost
     
  17. Does anyone happen to know the price of a new rear skyhook
     
  18. maybe time to go back to Triumph.
