Lower suspension adjustment Touratech for BMW F800GS / ADV from 2008 onwards type Explore HP / Level 2

This shock tube is perfect for reducing the seat height (-50 mm) on the BMW F800GS. At the same time your BMW F800GS remains a clean fit and is very suitable for touring. The shock tube of the Level 2 model offers a large adjustment range and large reserves for the demands of motorcycle touring. The performance of the shock tube allows the exact balance of your motorcycle to be matched. The front of the BMW F800GS must be fitted with the appropriate fork springs to compensate (01-040-7438-0). The balance of the motorcycle can be restored quickly and easily with the thumbwheel by means of the hydraulic spring initial tension. The damping setting of this Level 2 shock absorber tube allows you to influence the level of traction and pressure as necessary in order to apply your personal riding comfort requirements to the shock absorber tube.

*** Improved shock tube cooling.
*** Minimal restrictions on the mounting position of the shock absorber tube on the motorcycle.

In case you have mounted a larger tank on your motorcycle than the original one or have made modifications to
additional luggage bags, adaptations can be made. We adapt the shock absorber tube
by means of a spring with a higher damping ratio individually to your requirements. Please use our suspension test form and send it back to us after completion.

If you have any further questions, we will be pleased to advise you personally.
