Hearing a click when changing suspension from MAX to MIN.

Post by GvG »

I have a '20 R1250RT, and when I change my suspension (preload) from "MAX" to "MIN" I hear a click; is this normal?

Thanks!

Well, the suspension works perfectly, nothing wrong with it, only hearing one click changing from MAX to MIN, wondering what causes it.

My '18 R1200RT LC did the same thing, also heared a click changing from 2 helmets to 1 helmet :roll:

Could it be the suspension pre-load motor.

Emailed my BMW Motorrad dealer last week about my question, and the chief mechanic told me this "click" is normal, so that's fine with me.
