    Ma tu hai una vaga idea di cosa sia un ammortizzatore dynamic?
    Non fare video dove dimostri solamente la tua totale incompetenza e confondi chi li guarda.

      Sorry about that, dodgy recording set-up I was using at the time. Strange though, I can hear it fine and some others can too - but not everyone(?) There are subtitles available though, if it would help :)

    If you happen to be in Istanbul, stop by MOTOSENKRON and have all the shock absorbers of BMW motorcycles repaired with a one-year warranty, very cheap 250 euros.

      Thanks for this 👍 I’m not expecting to be in Istanbul, sadly. They may ship me one though. I think I’d go for a refurbished unit next time I need one (rather than secondhand).

      Mine suddenly lost all damping & became like riding on a pogo stick. I had no oil leakage at all ; blue or red

    Can you refil the oil inside the gold reservoir? mine reaches the limit and then i hear a clunck sound. when i hit a bumb and my bike restores height.

    • @Greeves
      @Greeves  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I’m no expert but my upstanding is that the gold reservoir primarily contains nitrogen gas under pressure. There’s a piston inside that separates the gas from oil that’s forced across from the main damper unit as it operates. So the gas provides part of the spring function as well as keeping pressure on the oil to reduce cavitation. So most of the oil lives in the main damper leg. Replacing, or replenishing the oil (or nitrogen) is not an end user task and will require special equipment. It sounds as if yours may have lost some oil, or gas and need professional attention.

      @Greeves  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@SikkeTiemersma If you look at the video 7:10 mins in; removing the screw at the top of the reservoir does release a small amount of gas. Not dangerous though. Once this is done the whole reservoir may be unscrewed with nothing else escaping (see 09:24). The gold reservoir looks to be sealed for life and probably contains gas under pressure below a floating piston. I wouldn't recommend tampering with it.

    Hello ! I noticed while cleaning the bike that the plastic dust cover which is inside the spring is rotating on the right and left , not up and down . Is it normal ?

    • @Greeves
      @Greeves  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The black plastic tubular part, inside the spring, is effectively fixed to the lower end of the spring. So it moves up & down with the spring as the suspension works. It's trapped by the pressure of the spring. Mine doesn't rotate, even with the bike on the centre stand and the suspension fully extended - the spring pressure is still plenty to keep the plastic tube firmly held. So I don't think rotation of this part is normal (unless BMW changed the design since my version). Might be worth getting yours checked out by a dealer. Does yours rotate only when on the centre stand, or even when there's weight on the rear wheel?

      Please be clear, I’m not a BMW specialist; just an enthusiastic amateur. It does sound to me as if there’s something not quite right with your dust cover. Could be that the plastic’s broken(?) I don’t think it’s safety critical but still worth getting it checked. It shouldn’t move, or ‘tick’, so far as I’m aware.
