BGM Rear Shock Problem

[soulsurfer]

I've heard of a few failing at the seals in the last month and leaking to various degrees (one with disastrous effect). Has this fault been tracked down to a batch? Has the fault been fixed/design improved or is it a case of proceed with caution?

Anyone using the Protech unit avilanble from Lambretta Innovation?

I believe that the BGM problem has been solved.

Last year I took one from LTH (Germany) and when I fitted it it leaked from the first ride.

They replaced it with a new one,and for the last months (daily use) it works fine.

It would appear it hasn't been fixed as the last two I heard of were new this month

[Dimitrios_231]

Yes but they might have used the old stock.

I mentioned LTH,as they know the problem and have taken in stock the last batch .

[soulsurfer]

Yes but they might have used the old stock.

So how can you tell and why hasn't there been a recall?

[Dimitrios_231]

Don't know the answer,

I guess that,they were hoping that not all the early ones were faulty.

I don't have any connection with LTH

The manufacturer of this shock is ScooterCenter Koln not LTH.

[Dimitrios_231]

I know.

LTH had the shocker out of stock for a long period.

I know cause I was waiting for the replacement,
when the new ones came,
they send one to me.
