Made me panic about mine now - will get the bike out and take a look.

ITV 4 highlights for me on every night at 9.00pm.

Yes The short (GS) paralever arm raises the rear ride height and quickens the steering, the longer arm lowers the rear with the opposite effect on the steering and is what the standard R1100S came with. With an Ohlins on the rear (and front) you should have a ride height adjuster on the shock which ...

You can also check to see if you have the standard (long) or GS (short) paralever arm, as that makes and inch or so of extra ride height on the rear with the short one.

And here's me having to slipstream R1's, Gixxer's and Blades coming round the last right hander at the 'Ring just to be able to drag the R11S up to 140+ before they pulled away on the long straight before the cafe. That's when I bought a Gixxer 1000 myself, much less work to go faster. But, still go...

Exactly the question I was going to ask, as mine is all bubbling up and flakey now too.
