Buenas tardes:
En Agosto de 2006 la revista alemana PS realizó un comparativo de amortiguadores para la R1200GS.
Para resumir valoró tres aspectos de 1 a 5 y el resultado fué el siguiente.
Ordenado por Gama de ajustes/Facilidad de reglajes/Comportamiento.
BMW Serie 2/4/2
Hyperpro 367/469 (3D) 4/4/3
Öhlins 437/436 3/4/3
Wilbers 630/640 (R12) 3/4/4
Wilbers 642 (R12) 4/4/5
WP Suspension EDS 3/5/3 Sistema similar al ESA
WP Suspension 4014 Emulsion 3/4/4
WP Suspension 4014 Spin 4/4/5
El texto en inglés, traducido del alemán y sin retraducirlo al español, porque no hay quien lo entienda es el que sigue:
Who is a regular line drive wants, needs a good spring elements. The standard chassis works passable, but especially the rear suspension struts are cause for criticism: Who is it with the Q can fly properly and / or with a lot of ballast is all about feel when driving under significant load unrest in the tail, which is sometimes inconvenient stamps increases. This arises because of the very soft designed to block outgoing Federbeins. As the damper in this case no longer absorb bumps, head of the tire to the rear further clashes, which began to trample. The Kardanreaktionen the GS support this unpleasant effect yet.
On the accessories market, there are elements which Gummikuh quietly. Who is not a new spring leg would like to acquire, the series can also modify elements can - see box on page 67th
PS tested eight chassis. They hammered the testers around the northern loop and bügelten fies zerfurchte on a road near the ring. One make a: Each of the tested rear suspension struts works better than the serial parts. Without exception, all the rear shock absorbers have a hydraulic preload spring by the handwheel. Except when serial spring leg of this feature costs extra charge, but it is a worthwhile purchase, the pilot because the preload very quickly to various loading conditions of the bikes can be adjusted. Another useful facilities offer only the standard shock absorbers and by Hyperpro: a splash. All other candidates are working unguarded in front of the rear wheel, dirt and water can provide valuable chassis component attack.
On an accessory, however, can safely forgo the height regulations in the spring leg eye. The level of the BMW to change, it is hardly necessary, because the Gro0enduro offers plenty of ground clearance and is also well balanced. Some producers deliver the height regulation but standard. In this case, the spring legs exactly series length adjusted. Are they longer, the front rises either too high or the arm is unnecessarily steep, which, in extreme cases, damage to the rear wheel drive can cause. To the GS for smaller driver as a benchmark, most manufacturers offer a lower rate - with the shortened spring legs will reduce the seat height according to the manufacturer between 20 and 80 millimeters. HP is in the individual boxes setup tips for each chassis. If there is the word "static sag" occurs, it meant that distance, between "completely ausgefedert" and the only with the dead weight of the motorcycle loaded shock absorbers. For rear spring leg of this measure is determined by the housing of the rear-drive and go directly to the frame above the rear anzeichnet a marker. This distance is first in the state ausgefederten measured (bike racks on the main set). Thereafter, the GS on their wheels (without driver), it attaches to these issues again. The difference is the static sag. Vorn the measuring procedure is unnecessary, because all the accessories are optimally preloaded from the factory. To the damping to PS requirements to adjust, we closed the first adjustment screws or wheels completely and then opens it to the specified value.
In the boxes is also whether the motorcycle after the installation of the chassis of a Prüforganisation (Dekra, GTÜ, MOT) to be demonstrated growing acceptance. This confirms the investigator only to the proper installation. A registration in the vehicle licence is not required, it is enough, the certificate.
