Can you give the rear a bounce and let me know if the shock stops with a clunk on the rebound
Just had it serviced by ABE and had to return it straight away as they had stuck on a bicycle air valve for re-gas which protruded over 20mm!
Got it back and rode 50 miles but felt a 'knock' when going over sharp bumps on the road, when I stopped to check I bounced the rear by hand and it gives a pronounced clunk at the end of rebound, there's no sign of it contacting anything so it has to be the shock. Adjusting the damping fully either way makes no difference.
I called them and was told that the rear standard shock on an 1100gs is pretty useless anyway with little or no damping but if I'm not sure just return it..again.
Took 6 weeks to get the unit serviced (re-chromed rod), then another 2 weeks for the proper valve to get fitted.
