Tyres, Brakes and Suspension » Suspension overhaul

Bit soft, the 2015 RS.
Mine's all electronic and so it's time for the suspension to get stripped, cleaned and hopefully upgraded! Front and rear.
Do we know who in the UK is an Ace in this department?

I used Maxton.

But I don’t have ESA.

Good luck.

Kent is miles away for me, although Maxton are probably even further!

MCT then, in all probability. Thanks for all the help.

You will find them under Firefox Keighley!

This company in County Durham has also been mentioned to me:

You will have to add the https:// bit yourself.

And PDQ is only up the road - Maidenhead.

Rear Shock. Is is possible to put a stiffer spring onto the rear shock? No ideas as to who makes them though.

Unless someone has fitted an after market shock or one from a R1250, if it fits.

T-Tech suspension at Croydon can do everything you require Scoobs. He does a mail order return service with a quick turnaround.

He is on Facebook as TTechsuspenion

I'm not sure if there's service option in UK, but in USA, Wilbers rebuild was highly regarded on the K16's, with or without ESA.

With ESA, you have to send them servo, along with weight, riding style, etc. but they could then tune suspension - at each ESA setting on dash - to your liking. worked great for all types of riding, from cruising, sporty, two up and any combo.

Total front and rear, with ESA, usually ran somewhere shy of $2k USD, including some local dealer labor for dis/reassembly.
