  1. F800GS, F800GS Adventure, F650GS Twin Discussion
    I am a new owner of a 2013 800 gs that had a hyper pro lowering kit installed, but the seller had the original springs. Easy fix, right? The rear went easily but when I took the progressive springs out to replace with the originals I found that both the plastic retainers that are part of the...

    Hello everyone! I'm selling the original springs that came with my F800 GS Adventure. I've changed them right after I've bought my new bike for a Touratech kit. Never used. $200 for both, front and the rear ones. Thank you!

    This is a like new TechnoFlex (Wilbers #641) rear shock for F800ST and F800S models, it has less then 500 miles on it. The unit has, rebound, Hi-Low compression, and Pre load adjustment. This is a very expensive shock when purchased new. Replace your worn out shock with this beauty! Possible...

    I just purchased a lowered F650GS Twin (2008) and want to swap to the standard suspension. The part number I'm after is 33537698358. If you'd like to trade for the lowered shock / side stand I can do that, or happy to just buy your standard shock. So if you've got one laying around after an...

    Hello I want to remove my low suspension and add a regular height suspension on my 2010 F650GS Twin. I will probably buy the Ohlins BM304. Is there a video or write-up on how exactly I can do this? Thanks!

    Hello, If you are one of those folks who find the F700gs too tall and did a conversion to lower or it want to lower it I would be interested in buying you rear shock, front fork, and kickstand, and center stand. Or any combination. If you live in the Pacific Northwest we could also possibly do a...
  8. F800S & F800ST Discussion
    Hi All Had a quick search and did not find anything similar in other threads... Got a 2010 F800ST with 50k KM's on, that still has the original belt and bits at the back. All is fine taking off, but going past 120 kph and back down I pick a lot shudder from the back. Rear tyre pressures aren't...

I am a 2011 model f8Gs owner with 20.000km on the clock I live in Dubai and we ride mostly in wadi's, dry riv beds, sand, rocks etc (light to moderate off road) I was not happy with the suspension at all and I tried hyperpro springs so I...

    Hi, I have factory lowered F650GS, 2008, with 20K kms on it, and I want to raise it to standard height. So, I would like to trade rear shock, in good condition for standard height one. Can also trade the side stand. Alternatively I can also sell it, but would prefer the first option. I'm...

    Hi, I decided to share with you my adventures with modifying 2011 F650GS Twin. Everything began with the purchase of a motorcycle, which did not fit me in terms of specifications (low suspension and seat while I am 186cm tall). I will not dwell on this topic - I live on a small island and you...

  14. Suspension
    HI Guys, Just purchased a 2010 F800ST last weekend. Love the bike. Just did the cascades loop this weekend and can't believe how nimble she is. I bought it used and unfortunately for me it came with a factory lowering kit on it. This is an issue as I'm 6'5 260lbs. I've managed to snag a regular...
  15. F800S & F800ST Discussion
    I have a factory-lowered model (seat and suspension). Happy enough with planting the feet but feel cramped after riding for an hour or so. So, I have reached the conclusion (may not be correct) I would be better with either the lowered seat or the lowered suspension but not both. Or is it the...

    In most threads and on http://www.uthd.com/jeremy/f800st_config_metric.html the default setting for the rear damper is 1.5 turns anticlockwise for a 85kg rider. But the F800R manual states "Turn adjusting screw as far as it will go clockwise, then back it off 3/4 turns. (full load of fuel, with...

    ...for my cage! The 06 GTI I drive needs some new summer performance tires. I have a winter setup so don't need all seasons, but I do use the car most when the weather is piss poor so wet handling is important. I'd like something lower profile and might opt to put them on the stock 17"...

    Has anyone upgraded the stock suspension on their 800GS yet? If so, what did you do? Did it make it better? Why? I'm considering upgrading my springs (front and back) and have looked into Race Tech (non-progressive) springs and Hyperpro, in the Tourtech catalog (progressive), and not sure which...
