#1 | Leaking ESA shocks can be repaired..... datum

Though the majority of the R1200RS�s is still covered by the two year warranty a growing number of owners face post warranty issues. One of the most feared problems is a leaking ESA shock, because BMW dealers won�t repair , they replace! At a price of course��.. (~ �2000,-)

According to BMW dealers an ESA-shock is not repairable, but I found some suspension specialists who can repair/rebuild the original ESA-shock! As an alternative there are specialists who can rebuild an ESA-shock based on a new shock from another manufacturer (Wilbers / Tractive / Hyperpro). And the prices are friendly compared to replacing the original leaker with a new shock from BMW.

Europe:

FL: https://www.wilbers-shop.de/index.php?mfid=70&lang=1&cur=3 (Wilbers)

Note: Feel free to add specialists to this thread, especially those who repair original ESA shocks, as my list is far from complete!
