I took forks and shock off my 2014ES after 70,000 miles it deserved new oil etc. Cogent Dynamics serviced them.
Now I’m reinstalling them. I should have taken photos as I did assembled it. Could someone please take some photos so I can see the routing of the hoses and such. I have the service manual but it doesn’t show much.
Post photos here or pm them to me.

Thanks
Brick

Got back on... what a pain in the ass! Probably because I’ve never done it before and well I don’t do these major jobs on my bikes much anymore. Since I took this photo I installed the cover over the rear shock electronics. BTW... the rubber cover shown in the picture was the biggest pain re-installing! Back to it... putting wheels back on.
Oh... I’m hoping I don’t have to reset the electric suspension! But if I do I did see the procedure somewhere.

I hear ya on refitting the rubber cover! How did you remove the main cover without breaking off the top lug?
Lucky I guess. I had never had it off before and the rubber grommet was partially pushed through. I corrected that. Getting the plastic push pins in the bottom was a bit tough but I got them too. It’s supposed to be 62 here tomorrow so I hope I can test it then.

So when I disassembled I did nothing special in regard to the electrics. I just unplugged everything. The battery was new May of last year. I usually keep it on a battery tender. So today while I’m cleaning up the tools and the work area I plug the battery tender back in. I have an led battery readout. Well this readout is slowly flashing 8.8.8. So I try the key... nothing on the dash. Well the ABS light shows occasionally.
Any ideas? Should I have disconnected the battery? Is there anything I should have done to the suspension... like run it all the way down or??
Damn... I’m gonna leave it on the battery tender over night to see if it comes back.
