I bought R1200GS ICONIC 2 days after buying a Versys 1000 (2015) because the seat is the most comfortable I’ve ever parked my backside on.
But I have 2 problems that stop me from riding this bike. First, the front end is so vague going into corners it’s worrying, and the second problem is I struggle to get my leg over the seat due to the height.
Once I’ve managed to get on the bike, I can reach the floor with ease (fat arse).
Can the seat height be lowered despite the ESA suspension? By how much and cost?
I was told the cornering issue is due to the Anakee tyres currently fitted. Was told to go for the Michelin Trail Pilot 5’s.
Is the problem due to the tyres? Are these any good on this bike?
Anybody else had this problem and did you find it was due to another factor?
If so, what was the problem, how did you rectify it?
