Rear suspension

Post by R1200convert »

I've just found an oil patch on my drive. Been out for a ride came back left bike for half an hour to cool down, then went to change headlight bulb. Round the bottom of the suspension is all wet with oil. It's not dirty when you find loads of road dirt attached so only just happened. Need to find a replacement. Can anyone give some ideas of the best replacement. Bike is a R1200 RT on a UK 12 plate.

Second vote for TTech here. Had both my ESA II shocks (2012 RT) rebuilt by them earlier this year - very reasonably priced and it was like having a new bike. Much much cheaper than any replacement shock. Highly recommended.
