What movie is tt, I don't think I ever watch this movie.

 

My 1st encounter with BMW bike was back in the mid 70s, my neighbout bougth a white R series, I don't remember the model of the bike, but it is a real beauty to me.

 

he was a super proud owner as his bike at time cost more than my father Ford Cortina and his father Honda Accord.

hope 20yrs later, some1 will post above message like me, tt's he/she bought a bmw bcos his neighbour was happy and proud to own a BMW bike and not the other way round, that is, she/he dare not own a BMW bike bcos his poor neighbour was treated like an idiot, bike was left in the workshop for 45days or more bcos of a stoopid bearings, bike produced funny sound and the owner has to bear with it as he was told by some professional mech tt : "it is like that 1".

Wow, seem like this is the latest trend after they use it on HP2. Hmm, I will stick to my O-ling for another 80,000km - just service it last year leh. Hope, they will come up with something new. Gel shocks, hehehe.

Hey SDR,

 

Got this from ADVrider:

The Fournales shocks are air spring and oil damping. The aftermarket Harley air shocks, and good old Gabriel Hijackers, are similar. They all use a traditional hydraulic damper, and use air as a spring.

 

The HP2 shock is all air. Not at all like the above.

 

The new shock should have very low 'stiction'. There are no exposed 'telescopic' seals. So no static friction (stiction) to overcome. And no seals, so no seal wear.

 

Plus, air does not wear out. And air does not become aerated.

 

Air damping is a tried and true practice. Especially in high-cycle use. This is the first OEM use as a vehicle shock absorber that I've seen.

 

But just like a hydraulic damper, if the rate/speed is not done right, it will not work as well. But poor damping design or no, the lack of stiction will be a good benefit.

 

- Jim

 

(edit) I bet BMW sells an assload of the air shocks as accessory items for the standard 1200GS. And maybe also for the 1100/1150. Yes yes, the HP2, the standard 1200, and 1150 bikes have different weights, but that may not matter. The swingarm is shorter on the 1200, and shorter still on the 1150, no? So the leverage is different. I guessing they'll cost about a grand.

At the end of the day, it might still be more economical to improve on what you have rather then to get something new and go thru the whole learning and problem solving cycle again. Whatever brand and whatever the cost, every make will have its perculiar querks, better to live with a known "Tiger".

 

So looks like its the Ohlins front and Conti rear is the way to go for me

Why not get a pair? I would hv gotton the ohlin telescopic forks if they hv it for my bike, but also "heng" lah they don't hv it lah, save $. Anyway, they told me the telescopic fitted on my bike is branded, I find it a bit stiff, now oil seals gave way but I think the damping is just nice.

 

 

"they" especially Mr Action, I really pity him, I remembered he mentioned that "he wanted to die", alamak, I don't know how would I react if I am caught in the situation. Guess I have yet to experience the worst.

Taking a chance here man. Wanna get something that will be service by an existing agent/distributor down the road. And unless they have "Big Mountain" behind them, exotic brands might not sell enough for the existing dealership to maintains its hold. And then what, the brand get passed around. Each new ownership might not honour the previous purchase, blah blah blah....... you know the story. Worst case, the brand get withdrawn by the manufacturer and disappears from our market and then how......

 

Best to stick to OEM? But they are built to a cost (defined as compromised), push them harder and they squeel and break, and might take you along with it. some OEM cost just as much as aftermarket and not half as good.

 

What we are looking for in aftermarket are not just for better performance but also the capability to absorb "a bigger margin of error". Guess we have to pay extra$$ for more zing.
