In response to customer and Press feedback, since September, 1988 a
softer rear suspension has been installed on all production RlO0GS’s.
Both spring and damper rates have been reduced. The shock can be
identified from the firmer version by the embossed part number 112 310
503″on the damper and a thinner spring wire size:
11.8 mm wire is used on the harder suspension
10.95 mm wire is used on the softer suspension
The complete rear shock assembly with softer suspension is available
under part numbers:
(Black) 33 53 2 310 508
(Yellow) 33 53 2 310 509
( Important:
Converting a 1d er R1 00GS models to the new softer version is not a
warranty matter. Therefore, no claims will be accepted under warranty.
Very truly yours,
