Droopy at the rear

Post by Sprintgull »

Afternoon,
Noticed something odd on my 2016 LC:  It had been up on the bike lift for about three weeks (other stuff intervened) while I fitted the spoils from my latest raid on Nippy Normans.  In that time, the rear wheel seemed to have dropped from its usual parked-on-the-centre-stand position and was contacting the deck.  The front end was strapped down so it had not rocked back.  Rides normally otherwise and as I said it takes a while for this to happen.

Not on my 2016, hope it’s not serious.

Just a thought, has the bike got Dynamic ESA and has it been started whilst on the centre stand.

If so, perhaps the suspension system is trying to sort out the ride height/level, could be wrong.
