Här kommer min korr med Wilbers
Bara som en notis till Er, min fråga handlade om vikt. Vi åker 80% 2 pax, och på rejäla långresor. Då pga min" lilla" kropp, vi är på gränsen att köra med övervikt.
Deras svar upplever jag som mycket rak på sak.
Cheers Zsolt
Dear Mr. Somogyi,
thank you for your email and your interest in Wilbers WESA products. As I am
international sales manager Mr. Pelke asked me to try to answer your
questions - I'll therewith try my best to do so:
- you'll have the full factory warranty of BMW on all parts but the
suspension. If for example something happens to the ESA system you could
rebuild the WESA shock to the original shocks and claim the warranty. You'll
be sent back the OEM shocks together with the WESA after the coupling of ESA
engine and Wilbers dampers.
- we build the Wilbers dampers to be matched with the ESA (= WESA)
considering your weight an riding style --- therefore YES the carrying
capacity as well as riding comfort is going to be increased
- normally shocks can go for 50.000 km or more - as with all mechanical
products some last much longer and some don't. As you have 5 years full
warranty on WESA shocks you have at least those 5 years! You have to send us
the original shocks with the ESA motors because we have to take the ESA
motors away and couple the Wilbers shocks to them. Here a link in a forum by
a guy who did it already:
http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthre ... light=WESA the
link also is a good disinstallation and installation instruction.
As to the comparison to Ohlins - don't worry - no offense taken!
Of course I know about their ESA shocks - a couple of advantages of our
solution are that you get a system that is well tested (we sell WESA shocks
for more than 2 years now without complains) and because our shocks are
really tailor made - we pick internal damping as well as spring rate in
accordance to your weight and riding style... As far as I know Ohlins does
none of this... And finally you pay less than half when you decide on the
Wilbers solution...
If by Old Man Emu you mean emulsion dampers then that is exactly what the
WESA dampers are...
I hope I have been able to answer at least some of your questions. In case
that you want to know more, don't hesitate to contact me again.
With best regards from Germany,
Dirk Wenzelmann
