Fixed a stuck ESA rear shock (preload) on 2005 K1200S
schuppi:
Please, give it just another test.
As repair manual describes:
select toolbox ZFE!
select control the ESA suspension settings. Maybe it helps, otherwise
what about a picture of your ESA connectors to nsee the pins :)

Thank you for your continued interest Schuppi.
As I understand it, the repair manual refers to the use of a BMW diagnostic tool, which I don’t have and with the bike off the road for the moment, I won’t be able to organise for a while. A visit to my local BMW dealer will have to wait for later, if I can’t resolve the problem beforehand. I do normally do all jobs on my bikes myself though.
I’ll certainly try with the GS-911 again, but as it is a somewhat unauthorised procedure I’m using, I’m not too optimistic. It would be nice to have ESA 1 supported by the GS-911 software, but I suppose that with these bikes getting older, Hexcode have other priorities.
The 12V power connector to the rear suspension unit showed some light corrosion, which I carefully cleaned off and then protected with electrolube. I’ll have another look at the others.
I won’t have any spare time to do this until later this week though.
durinkos:
Try to connect the blue connector for 12V and spring set to be compressed to the maximum. Involve connector and then start the calibration. If that fails it's inversely (Springs) moves and start calibration again. It also does not help that he disassemble, inspect potentiometer or cable.

Thank you for sharing.

Hello durinkos.
I was hoping to hear from you, as you had managed to resolve the problem I now have. I’ll post again once I’ve had a chance to get back to the bike (later this week I hope).
Contrary to your suggestion I had placed the spring preload motor at the soft position, thinking that this would be the starting point. Anyway, I’ll try it at the other end of the range of movement and I’ll also pay particular attention to all connections, given the experience in the useful link you provided.
