Can the esa suspension be repaired /rebuilt and still have the electronic functionality?

I'm drowning here and you're describing the water.

I think there are some specialists who can do a repair, and there may be some aftermarket replacements.
Probably information about this over on UKGSer ...

Yes .
The parts are supplied by Tractive Suspension. Contact HM racing in Edenbridge, Kent who are Tractive UK representatives ( and jolly good guys to boot). In addition Tractive's parts add more flexibility to the ESA range according to my research

You might consider changing over to the Tractive Suspension fork cartridge and shock. I have them on my bike and they are definitely superior to the BMW pieces. A little pricey, but I don't have any idea how much it would be to "repair" the stock stuff.

I concur with Chris on the Tractive suspension. I�ve had a chance to ride the last 6000 miles with the suspension. The suspension allows for a smoother ride as tires seem to be in a more constant consistent contact with the pavement both on rough roads and during any cornering.

https://tractivesuspension.com/motorbike/bmw-esa-products/ my recall is something like £1000 for rear shock

I paid about $2k for the cartridge & shock, that was with me doing the cartridge install and removing & installing the shock (sent to Ted Porter for spring install on the new shock).
